Firefox has conquered IE, so much for the
Windows mentality of trying to squash Firefox
it is FREE and people use it because IE is
welded into the Operating System.
Point being, IE = Explorer.exe virus/worm
magnet.
Firefox, Chrome get quick fixes
Summary
Mozilla and Google have released new Firefox and Chrome browsers to fix bugs. The new Firefox patches one critical bug across Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Topics
For Windows, Mac, and Linux, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5 fixes three bugs: one critical bug across all platforms, and then one lower priority one for Windows and one lower priority one for Mac.
The critical bug addresses crashes in the GIF decoder that was not present in version 3.5.3, while the Windows bug fixes a security runtime issue and the Mac bug fixes an HTML parser error.
The stable build of Google Chrome has been updated from version 3.0.195.27 to version 3.0.195.32. This update introduces five stability improvements, including problems with how the browser managed content from Adobe Acrobat Reader, returning to Google Maps data via the Back button, and three others.
One of the security fixes addressed not warning users of some file types that could run JavaScript, such as SVG, XML, and MHT. The other one plugged a hole that could allow for memory corruption and subsequent malicious code execution through Google Gears.For more, read "Alterna-browsers Firefox, Chrome get quick fixes" on CNET News.

conquering anything!
Even Loverock managed to stay on topic, can't you!
