Thankfully, I'm more of a Chrome User these days, but there are some sites I still need
to access using only Mozilla and a few browser games too.

Yeah, I gave it a second glance now, sorry for the misintrepeting but you know what?
I'd rather be glad I'm proven wrong rather than otherwise. The reason why I didn't
think things through was because my own dad (whom I generally trusted) pointed this
article to me and it made me somewhat panicked. It's because of this article that he
suddenly decided to switch to Chrome and I wondered if what he did was the right
thing or not.

I should've asked my more IT competent friends but they were not online at the time.
The next best option was post this, and I braced for myself if this was still the right
thing to do in my part but I'll never know till I try right?

Changing the topic now so it's more accurate less intimidating

P.S. I switched to Chrome months ago.

"Thankfully, I'm more of a Chrome User these days, but there are some sites I still need

And based on what the article was talking about, you could be an IE user and have said the
same thing and still misrepresent what the article was talking about. Like Nelon said,
please read the article. From what I am seeing, Mozilla atleast admitted to not saying
anything about what was going on and admitted they were wrong for hiding it like the other
browsers did. For that, I have more respect for them then the other ones.

Um, what? I think you're misinterpreting the headline. Did you even read the article? The
SSL certificate theft affected ALL browsers, not just Firefox. All the major browsers have
since been patched. In fact, Mozilla patched its browser before Microsoft patched Internet
Explorer. This article is about how Mozilla regrets that they didn't inform the public
about the situation. They most certainly didn't have to and they actually had legitimate
reasons so I have no idea why you believe this is a "concern" for Firefox users.

Please learn to READ articles and not spread BS. There is nothing to be concerned about.
Mozilla was no better or worse in dealing with the SSL certificate theft and anybody who
chooses to switch browsers over this is a fool.
