MFSA 2008-18 Java socket connection to any local port via LiveConnect
MFSA 2008-17 Privacy issue with SSL Client Authentication

It looks like your advertising why everyone here should update FF.

no, they are laughing because the guy lists like 5 or 6 security updates, then complains they made him update, but didn't change anything(in the gui).

No, I think they're saying that because the OP said there were no changes (I assume he said that because it didn't install any adware or change the appearance on the screen).

Yes, because security issues being resolved is really annoying. Are you actually being serious? All it is doing is making it better and safer for you to use; so that you don't get scammed; so that you don't start whining and so that you feel sale.

If you had said you didn't upgraded cause of it, I was tempted to write an exploit and send it to you

It's a good update. Small one and quickly installed if you ask me. No reboot of the whole system required (go IE...) Just restart FF whenever you want, without it reminding you every 2 minutes (go windows updates...)

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
