Mozilla & Gecko clones Mozilla has reacted to a Symantec report issued on Monday which said serious vulnerabilities were being found in Mozilla's browsers faster than in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The study was conducted over the first six months of 2005. Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, hit back by claiming on Monday that when a vulnerability is found Mozilla's "ability to react, find a solution and put it into the user's hands is better than Microsoft."

I still don't need a firewall with Linux

Firewalls are there for more than just virus protection.

I realize that. I do use a firewall even with Linux, but I have never had a problem when for some reason it wasn't on for a few minutes(/hours).

Any time I see a program that recommends turning off a firewall in Windows though, I try to find any other solution because I don't trust Windows for even a minute without a good firewall.
