This is getting a little out of hand. I only started using Firefox for its security, but now that seems to be disputed.

Anyone else using FF and what do you think about this?

With firefox you get (ironically) great security through obscurity. Not many hackers are going to be targeting 5% of the potential victims, when 95% are much more vulnerable.

According to their bug control system the bug has been fixed. I'm sure it'll be fixed in the next version - their comments imply a quick patch, but I don't know where to get that.

BTW - I personally have more than just security as a reason to use Firefox.
