The latest versions of both Firefox and Internet Explorer are vulnerable to an unpatched flaw that allows hackers to snaffle users’ login credentials via automated phishing attacks.
The information disclosure bug affects the password manager in Firefox 2.0 and its equivalent in IE7. Firefox’s Password Manager, for example, fails to properly check URLs before filling in saved user credentials into web forms.

This is why I haven’t upgraded yet,let them sort all the bugs out first then I’ll upgrade.
It is the same for Firefox 1 and 2 and also IE.
When did this occur,because i had 5 critical updates 3 or 4 days ago.
I’ve just got IE7 as an automatic update this morning and I’m quite impressed with it and also its fixed the problem I had with your comments page so I can see what I’m typing.
