Just as everyone was about ready to ditch Internet Explorer in favour of the less popular but theoretically less bug prone alternatives from Mozilla, a patch was issued to fix a recently discovered security hole in Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird. The bug, which only affects users running one of the above products on a Microsoft Windows platform, may allow an attacker to cause a machine to freeze. Although not necessarily hugely damaging to the client machine, this is still a blow to the Mozilla Foundation, as it will cause confidence in their products to drop.
