I'm not harping on it. In fact, I had much the same response as you had at first - it requires clicking yes, it's a Java issue, not a FF issue, but



To the best of my memory, every FF exploit that has been discovered so
far has been patched very quickly (instead of M$ taking months and
years to patch IE, it at all).  I am not so optimistic to think that
FF is the best thing ever and will never be a problem but I still love
it.  I have installed it on many of my friend's machines and been
using it myself for several months and NOONE I know has been hit by
spyware/adware/malware, even with most of those installs being
straight out-of-the-box.

I appreciate the heads up on new exploits on this list but please tone
down the anti-FF slant.  Or at least reserve it for a time when it is
actually needed.
