Mozilla Security Flaws

Looks like the flaws have been released. As some might notice, 2 were located in my plugin finder code (one was reported, the other I found combing my code based on the reported issue. For some reason they are listed as one issue, even though the 2 are in different parts of the code). Here is a tip - don't use setAttribute with a value that came from a web page - injection is really easy.

I also discovered the popup blocker issue, which means I am just down one :)

So the moral of the story is, people shouldn't be saying we are more secure than IE. We just can react faster, and that does make a difference.

Slow News Week?

The IBM job posting has made Slashdot, CNet and pretty much every other news site around the world. And natrually everyone reads something else into it :) Hard to believe soo much fuss is being made for a replacement posting.

Accessibility Matters

Having the gun-point induced pleasure of working on Firefox accessibility (one of the hardest words to spell, so lets just call it a11y), I thought I would share the pleasure and point out an interesting HTML/CSS accessibility page: http://www.access-matters.com.

Is your page screen reader ready?
