How Safe or Unsafe is it to use FireFox 3.6 at a HTTPS Web Page?
Hi,
I have been using FF3.6 for years in my Win98 partition (dual boot PCs) after installing KernelEx. Most of my web browsing involves looking for information. Once in a while I need to "log in" (https page, enter email address and password) at a site. Due to recent reports of a HTTPS vulnerability, is it unsafe (risky) to "log in" using FF3.6? Thank You in advance, John |

When surfing the web I regularly get nuisance messages about security certificates that I ignore (I think there's a way to update Win98 root certificates but I haven't bothered to do that). I also think I get a lot of these messages because I have so many HOSTS file entries that point to bull**** 3'rd party entities that have wormed their way into many web sites for tracking and marketing purposes. Actually I get those messages running FF 2 on Linux as well, though I don't think I ever tried hard to fix it either. My regular sites don't seem to trigger them, usually just the script-filled monstrosities that don't work well with FF2 for a range of reasons. I have hardly any HOSTS file entries, mainly just to block rubiconproject because it seemed to be slowing things down, but I think its getting through anyway. -- __ __ #_ |\| | _# |
