Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 Released 250
Mini-Geek writes "Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 has been released. As with previous 1.5.0.x patches, 1.5.0.3 can be downloaded as a small, incremental download. From the article: 'This update fixes a publicly disclosed denial of service weakness. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
The bugfixes previously planned for Firefox 1.5.0.3 were shifted to 1.5.0.4, and a quick update was released shortly after the recent to address the publicly reported issue.'"
Flaw Found In Firefox 1.5.0.3 (Score:0, Informative)
The question is; Is Firefox more bug ridden because it has developed enough features to make it large and cumbersome or, is Firefox bug ridden because the developers are rushing it out too quickly, or is Firefox bug ridden because it was poorly coded from the beginning and it is only now that the bugs are being found?
No matter what the answer, the fact is that Firefox is bug ridden to the point that people aren't too kean to use security as an argument against IE 7.

People like you who have never really understood what a security nightmare IE still is probably never will - so I won't waste your time on that. But you (probably intentionally) totally ignored proper rendering and standards support. IE7 fixes a few of the glaring issues (e.g. PNG transparency), but it really isn't much of a step forward toward CSS 2 or 3 compliance. If you want to see a simple demonstration of this for yourself, try playing with an object's opacity sometime.

People accustomed to PC-world mediocrity may find Firefox satisfactory for their tastes, but Firefox pales in comparison to the legions of Cocoa-native Mac browsers. Even Jon Hicks, the talented graphic designer who designed Firefox's logo and icon, switched to Safari a while back after getting fed up with Firefox's sluggish performance, not to mention its wretched user interface and terrible rendering. He now maintains this site for extensions to Safari [pimpmysafari.com]. Hope this helps.
