I want you to know, I read every word of this post, plus the two others ones, and meditated on the meaning of each word. I will try to take the lessons I've learned into my daily life.

So you are saying I should summarize?


If you run Mozilla Firefox 2 or 3, or Thunderbird, you need to update your software to the newest version due to current exploits that are "in the wild".

Thanks for the updates, Guru - my FF is set to update automatically, but it's good to know the severity of the threats out there.

No, not even summarize. Just knowing who you're talking to. If the people who are reading this thread are the type of people who normally read Secuina Advisories, they're surely aware of the problem. Everyone else probably hit mark all posts read and moved on with their lives, unless they just had to make a sarcastic remark. You didn't help out as much as you wanted to with that one.

What might have worked better...


    There are new vulnerabilities to Firefox version 2 & Firefox version 3, as well as Thunderbird. If you're using this software, you should [choose: make sure you install the next update/turn of feature X until the next update arrives/stop using this software entirely until the next update, the danger is that high]. You can find more information on the issue here here and here.


Firefox/Mozilla vulnerabilities don't seem to me as big of a deal, because you really have to work hard for the programs NOT to update automatically. If you don't tell to update right away, it'll do it the next time you start the program. It's way too easy to turn off Automatic Updates, especially after the first time they want you to drop what you're doing and reboot your computer immediately.

Looks like you found my solution, sir. Handbrake, in conjunction with DVD43 ripping software, does the job (including those elusive chapters)...it just takes FOREVER. A 90-min. DVD performance of the Rat Pack in St.
