Firefox is my default Browser. However there are still a lot of ABers who use Internet Explorer. Perhaps they'll now have second thoughts about IE.

You have done well to point out the fact of IE being open to bugging.

Chances are they all are. Just that some bugs are not yet public knowledge.

MS have been aware of some activity trying to exploit this, If concerned then use a different browser until the fix is distributed. Personally I get fed up at the number of times IE freezes and needs restarting, anyway. (Especially at this site for some reason.)

I have no problem with IE11 as there are bugs trying to exploit everything on the Internet.
Uninstalled Firefox some time ago as it's overrated, some people seem to think that the sun shines out of it's ****

FF does have it's problems but I would be ashamed to say I use IE. Even a ZX81 would reject it.

might be a problem for those still using XP, though?

[HansUrbancka]

@Noodlearms.........I am thinking that perhaps you are unbelievable.

jno
It will be problem for everyone until a fix has been circulated and installed via updates. XP no longer supported by updates will remain at risk.

Noodlearms
What internet browser do you use?

I use Firefox, Ok its not perfect, but I think it is the best of the bunch at the moment.

//There are a few i use recommended to me by a colleague in the security services which i couldn't possibly disclose but they appear to be safe and free from the bugs, viruses and hidden agendas from the the most commonly used ones. //

Well, given that this is a site where a lot of folk come for suggestions to queries ; why didn't you just say what you use ; instead of this nonsense ?
