QuoteMicrosoft releases its next-generation IE7 later this year which promises more secure.
That makes me feel soooo much happier :ph34r:
Microsoft, about as secure as a sieve with a hole in! :)
I've been reading on of the RSS feeds from an MS IE7 site, it's an interesting read sometimes from the perspective of the developers vs the sales pitches/media. I'm not saying it will persuade you to like/dislike MS, just that it is a different view and not watered down.
Not sure where I found the feed from, but the last post on it links to here

I have to say that one of the few 'bugs' I have with Firefox is that I have to manually download the patches. The red arrow works fine to tell me there is a ne wpatch available, when I click it I get the list of available patches, I can select to download - BUT, I have never yet had it actually then download and install the patch. :(
Maybe it is something on my settings.......?
TL.
New release of FF 1.0.4.
didnt show on my version 1.0.3, I have used the red arrow successfuly befor, but it didnt pick up the recent patch/update.
I have read the IE blog a few times. I find the comments full of ppl saying "fix x/y bug please". Tbh, i hope they succed in IE7 it will only puch other browsers further (i hope) :)

might be you settings...
I just went to the update bit and it said I needed the new version, downloaded it, and then asked if it was okay to shut the current instance of firefox down so that it could install/update, which is duly did. It also left the installer for 1.0.4 on my desktop rather than deleting it post installation update, but hey :)

Red arrow never works for me for firefox. It does for extensions and themes but not firefox itself :(
funny thing is that about 10 minutes ago the red arrow appeared and It worked fine.
