I heard that Mozilla's Firefox can have potential password stealing rumors about it and stuff. i havent found a good news article about it but some said it was a hoax by microsoft or something but im not 100% so im asking around. |

Well if there isn't a good news article you can find... draw your own conclusions.

Since when has a rumor been a fact?
And why are there no articles on this?
give it a rest. |

every browser has holes, if you are worried about password stealing. Dont enter your password with Firefox. I have been looking at the exploits for Firefox and i havent seen an update in a while (i think i read they delayed it till March?)
Either way people are suggest to get this browser when it has holes in it (what browser is perfect tho?) http://secunia.com/product/4227/#advisories |

wasn't that what the major update in firefox around v0.9 was for? i remember there was a rather large security hole that they fixed really fast and recommended everyone update with that version. maybe that was it? |

IMO, if you use the "remember my password" feature for any site/software, you're at risk. |

I agree with skuz, I never use the remember password option in IE or firefox, it just seems like a bad idea to me.
