Browser phishing 'flaw' could hook users

RE: Can't You Also: "Can't you also type "about:config" into the address bar."

Err, no.. the exploit involves making a popup window which doesn't have an address bar. As a result it's able to conseal it's plishing origin.

Likewise you have no address bar to type in your "about:config" directive.

The patch as posted, makes the address bar display manditory for both firefox and mozilla.; Posted by: thetruth_z Posted on: 12/10/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
