If the link that Matt gave you doesn't work, you can always look at my post, which is three above your post and you can get it there. That was what we were talking about for the last page.

If you use Firefox, this is one hell of a useful extension:

It basically lets you quickly input BBCode into forums like this.

do these cool add ons work on mac versions?

Yes, the whole idea behind Mozilla is that it's cross platform.

The PoC spoofs a SSL secured PayPal website.

Looks like they've released new versions to patch some bugs

EDIT: When you go through the initial setup, it states that you're installing version 0.9.2 of Firefox, but it's actually v0.9.3.

Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS
"In a recent interview with Wired Magazine, Microsoft Security Program Manager Stephen Toulouse, when asked about their now 2 year old focus on security, comments "it's more of a 10-year timeline." He also reveals that he runs Firefox."

Jesus, so even their head of security runs Mozilla Firefox!
Do you need any more proof?
When in work, I have to use IE (although they do run Open Office, fair play ) and I browse at the maximum security settings.

For you people who are using Opera and want to change over, I've just seen this extension for firefox...

I know that it's now the next version, not 0.9, but Firefox Preview release, has just been released, along with Thunderbird v0.8.

Yep, I downloaded the Mac edition this evening, using it now. The only problem is there is not yet a version of Chatzilla for this release, so Firefox uninstalled it for me.

There's a windows version, if you use windows and that's the extension that you mean.

Edit: It states here that it's for all OSes.
