Re: Dont Use IE

Really don't like the new look - If I wanted to use Chrome then I would Wink
Found this addon which returns things to the look and feel I've been accustomed to.

Re: Dont Use IE

Did you do anything special or just installed it - the warnings on the website are a bit graphic

Just installed as is.
There seems to be a wealth of configuration options available but haven't fully investigated as yet.

Re: Dont Use IE

It could be worse:
http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/24e4yd/heres_how_to_disable_the_new_address_bar/
How is this a good idea? Do the Chrome developers set out to confuse the general public - first changing the spanner/wrench to a completely different icon, hiding the scroll-bar buttons, shrinking the scrollbars, and now hiding the page URL.

Re: Dont Use IE

From zdnet:
At 1PM Pacific time on Thursday, Microsoft will release an update to address the zero day vulnerability recently disclosed in all versions of Internet Explorer. The advance notification of the update lists Windows XP as among the affected platforms, indicating that it will be among the platforms patched, in spite of its support period ending weeks ago.

One of my XP systems has already picked up and installed the update (as has the W7x64 system I'm typing on).  Cool

Hoping the memory leak has been addressed, though. But, as artmo says, it's early days.

[quote=https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-34.html]Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2014-34
Title: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:29.0 / rv:24.5)
Impact: Critical
Announced: April 29, 2014
Reporter: Mozilla Developers
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey
Fixed in: Firefox 29
  Firefox ESR 24.5
  Thunderbird 24.5
  Seamonkey 2.26
Description
Mozilla developers and community identified identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and Seamonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts.
