Yes, when your pc is plugged oot,
and you have no communication with the outside world.

Probably telnet. It's not very user friendly though.

 Have you got any ideas when Mozilla might make FF reasonably secure..?

Browsers tend to be very complicated peices of software that allow remote
sites to do a lot of potential privacy violating functions. This makes
it hard to get things right from a design perspective in addition to
mundane code bugs.

I suggest you run internet explorer 6, under wine. That is secure.

Well, I refuse to take this one unless you provide clear evidence for
your point of view.

considering the cost of mozilla software and that it is your choice to]
install them, and fact that mozilla seems to be announcing flaws before
they are exploited, it may well be your fault in not updating when alert
notices are released.

 Please tell: What be the most secure browser for Linux Fedora?..  Is
 there such a thing as a secure browser..?

instead of a secure browser, why not have a secure system? like SELinux?

 Have you got any ideas when Mozilla might make FF reasonably secure..?

i have always considered firefox to be reasonably secure. as reasonably
secure as anything else in linux.

if you think firefox or linux are not secure, install vista or win7 and wait
for ms to get around to building a service pack to correct security flaws.

 How do I get you and/or Mozilla to link to my PC to tap into my OS to
 catch a glimpse of the damage and entries the kooks do to FF in my
 Fedora-14 OS hd..?

if you do not know how, then i can only surmise that you do not know how
to make you system secure and any problems you are having are mainly your
fault for not knowing what to do.

i can not speak for all the others using mozilla software, but, for myself,
and those i do know that use linux and mozilla, we do not have any problems.

so, give these consideration before you try 'passing the buck';

  man selinux  or  info selinux

if that is not enough for you, try;

so remember this, first line of security is up to the system administrator.

to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it.

Sounds like something bad happened to you.  We tend to be fairly smug
about web pages because we're using Linux.  Can you give us some
details about what happened and how you think it happened?

How about providing some sort of proof to backup your far fetched crazy
