holes in FF?

i read this blog about how people think there's a security hole in FireFox.

well, there isn't, the security hole would be in the dummy's head who clicks "Yes" or "Install" when Java tells them "Warning - Security" and "Publisher Authenticity Cannot Be Verified" and "The security certificate was issued by a company that is not trusted" and "The Security Certificate has expired or is not yet valid". Let me give you a tip: If you see a popup window that asks you a question, first of all, READ ALL OF IT. Second, if it says things like that one did, DON'T DO IT! Really, you don't need to be that desperate to have a Java applet run!

I love the quote in this write-up:

"Maybe we should have a gate on the Internet saying 'you must be at least this smart to ride on this network.'"

That's FYI from E.
