Title: German Government: Don't use Firefox
Post by: Clive on March 22, 2010, 19:27

The German government has advised computer users not to run Firefox and run an alternative browser instead, because of a critical security flaw.

It must be an uncomfortable time for German web users too. After all, in January they were advised not to use Internet Explorer, and now they're being told to keep a wide berth from Firefox until it's fixed.

Paranoid?  Of course they're not paranoid!  Who said they were?   :)x

By the way, your link has one too many 'http://' in it, Clive.  ;)
