My good man!<br><br>Shirley you jest?<br><br>Please tell me that you don&#39;t assume that merely by &quot;running linux&quot; you are now safe from client side application layer security issues inherent in javascript?<br>
<br>YOU MUST USE ADDITIONAL ADD-ON SECURITY with Firefox!<br><br>Start at &quot;No-Script&quot; by clicking on &quot;Tools&quot; -&gt; &quot;Add-Ons&quot; then search for &quot;security&quot;.<br><br>Over and above just using Firefox, you must:<br>
<br>1) Be cognizant that most websites are only just beginning to be optimized for more than Internet Explorer.<br><br>2) YOU MUST RUN THE MOST RECENT PATCHED VERSION of Firefox, Safari, or Opera!<br><br>3) Extra Credit<br>
<br>And also, you might note, that you just announced loudly to everyone that you were unprotected, and no-doubt getting your mail through the browser as well, so I could have sent you a UTF-8 or SHELL CODE exploit with further packet payload that would happily install a nice XSS Tunnel whereupon I would pwn you until you rebuilt your system, viewing your protected cache, browsing history and worse!<br>

Greetings All,<br>
        Paying bills today, which I normally do online, and have never run into<br>
a problem with Firefox on Ubuntu 8.10. After logging off from APS, I got<br>
a pop-up asking me to take a survey for APS. I clicked on it, and it was<br>
a nightmare from my old windows days. It kept opening up blank browser<br>
windows faster than I could click out of them! I do have the Firefox<br>
pop-up blocker enabled, but the windows continued to open even after I<br>
disconnected from the network.<br>
        Does anyone know if this is an issue with Firefox, or the APS website?<br>
        Thanks,<br>
        Stu<br>
<br>
