thanks for the heads up. the patch was quick and painless

the patch was great. even though it wanted me to update dom after that...... i didn't understand that but anyone the patch worked and i upgraded to the secret .92 version of firefox. most ppl are using the buggy .91 or the old .90

what the hell is that? when i hit update it says cant find it.

and im patched right because the 2 things say false. so as long as they say false im patched?

This only affects Windows 2000/XP users, and affects the following:

Mozilla
Thunderbird
Firefox

The patch is also located at:
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=154

The patch lists many versions of each, so I don't think you necessarilly need to be running the latest to apply the patch.
