Among the first customizations I do in Firefox is to set browser.zoom.siteSpecific to false in about:config, I think the default value (true) is quite retarded.

You're right, that wasn't patched until today. Now the result is

/usr/bin/id
cat: echo: No such file or directory

Just ran pacman -Syu

$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test

Gotta love Arch too.

If it uses the same FUSE driver as Linux, yes, it would - and the performance would suck donkey balls.

Circumscribed? As in surrounds your entire life?

You mean... jQuery?

(for the record I use it where appropriate, but it's also way over/misused)

And anecdotally, I haven't had any issues with my 2013 Nexus 7. Nor have any other people I know that have one. SPREAD THE WORD!

It's been many years since I used Chakra, so I can't verify how well they work ATM, but while Chakra does thrive to be Qt/KDE-only you can install bundles, which provide Firefox among other things.

I know what it references. I also know the blog.

Gates of Vienna? Really?

And this is the fault of Mozilla how, exactly? Apple doesn't allow alternative rendering engines in the App Store, should Mozilla dedicate resources to just jailbreakers?

Was it this?

I'm saying that if problems with NFC cards would be an even slight issue here, my bank would inform me of it - hell, they always inform me of the latest badly translated phising emails going around which basically no one replies to (and even if they did, the scammers would probably end up with nothing, they'd need to get two one-time codes out of 300 possible, not very likely - but I digress). But they don't. So I'm saying the threats seem to be on the same level.

It might not be an obscure possibility, but you make it sound like it would be a common problem, with criminals just waiting in line to suck your account dry. Which it evidently is not. Oh and regarding fingerprints, they are not so secure either.

Right - so if hackers can just sniff this protocol, and with NFC cards being quite common nowadays here in Europe, why aren't we hearing about the widespread abuses? I know there haven't been any erroneous payments on my NFC-enabled card for the ~2 years I've had mine (unless the hackers have also managed to hack my bank statements, those bastards).
