From the site:
[quote]Solution:
This has been fixed in the following versions:
* Mozilla 1.7.2
* Firefox 0.9.3
* Thunderbird 0.7.3[/quote]

So I bet it's already been fixed. I win!

It took them 21 days to release a patch for this if you look at the bug report.

what ever happened to the oh-so-untouchable Mozilla?

That's Opera's title.

They aren't untouchable. Windows is just the main target and as more people use it there will be more flaws found.

Opera had problems too:

I am not even safe when I browse on lynx :'( You would think that would be the safest browser.

I made a basic HTML parser that used a rich text box...does that count?

That would be interesting, actually. Anyone up for it?

[/quote] I made a web based parser one time to get around my schools network, but it got to complicated, we still would not be able to watch flash cartoons. I went back to using remote desktop and browsing through my home computer. I am not up for it :( I just picked up a site job that I need to do.

You probably would not have to start from scratch. You could pick up something open source and mod the heck out of it... I would consider that to be acceptable 8)

I once stuck the Java object javax.swing.TextPane on a frame, set its type to "text/html" and put an address bar at the top. Does that count?

What I do not understand are hte images. You could parse through the html, and later the css. But how would you display images within this thing. I assume you would not be makeing a graphical browser. This seems like it would be some hard core codeing.

I think a user-mode TCP stack that didn't use file descriptors would kick ass.
