Firefox got PWNED!

[Oni no Ted]

As of the 19th or so, LOTS of Firefox users have not been able to use PHP based websites (example: SMF based forums)

This issue seems to be a Windoze only issue.

 

EDIT:

There is an annoying little trojan floating around that exploits FF's downloader

it installs 2 reg startup keys

I used CCleaner to fix it

Check Tools>Startup for 2 keys: the first is random jibberish, and the second is 'BM ' followed by the same jibberish

Delete both and restart. Done

Or you could switch to Mac, or if you don't have that kind of money, Ubuntu 8.04 went gold today.

Or stop running Windows with Administrator privileges.

Thank you TED.

That was very helpful.
