Firefox!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

yes but still im a little concerened whether there is proof though because i heard that there is rumors about it and it could be potentially true not only that i dont think any 1 has enough evidence to prove it...

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?)

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.
