won't be fooled again

Just a warning to beware if you hear unlikely or strange news about Firefox or Mozilla today; it's probably just Taily Day celebrations.

We Europeans have already been at it for hours. I bet the Australians are thoroughyl bored of it by now.

This highly critical security flaw with exposing browser's memory can also be considered "j/k"?

Just try and see, refresh the page and behold with your own eyes as Firefox reveals all your personal data, passwords, saved forms, bookmarks etc...

I've turned off JS and now waiting with a stop-watch running just for a patch.

Maybe I'm lame, but how to install that patch available in bugzilla? I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2?

Wait for a nightly for 20050402 to be released, and install it. Or if it's patched in Aviary branch, get the Aviary nightly instead of latest-trunk, so you can still use your extensions. Don't use the update thing though, or you will munge it, more than likely.
