not to sound like a troll, I love firefox as much as the next guy but what if you were to use chrome? to my knowledge it seems to be more secure?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 6:58 PM, BrianO'Keefe <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:okeefe@cybermesa.com" target="_blank">okeefe@cybermesa.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<pre>NMGlug'ers, On the Firefox issue: I was watching a segment of the
Democracy Now, possibly "Booker's Place" from April 30th. The stream
stopped and I think Firefox froze, so I restarted Firefox and noted
that my home page had switched. Alas, I do not remember the address. I
used the Firefox configuration to 'reset' the home page and a few
other homepage settings. that seemed to clear up the tangle. I was in
an open wifi situation so that is another vector of unknowns. Base OS
on this is my old and stable Ubuntu 10.04
I hope this may help.

<pre>By the way, I have had some issues with some kind of exploit in
Firefox over the last month. Both at home and at a public computer.
Homepage and some other settings were changed. Easy enough to fix with

<pre>Wow. Do you have any idea or leads about this issue? An exploit
related to Firefox, or some other hole something crawled in through? I
would be very interested to know any information you have about this.
Thanks,
Sean
