    Installed version 1.03, all seems to be okay, but when I try the test at:
    http://secunia.com/mozilla_products_...exposure_test/
    nothing happens, I get no response at all. Why is this?

    Hey Pete....
    with Javascript support off or on, I still get 'no-response' at all when I click the link for the test from secunia???.......maybe I'll re-install and see if that makes a diff....btw...can I just re-install over the present installation?

    I re-installed....and still no response from the test link....whether Java and Java Script are enabled or disabled....makes no difference......so far all else in 1.03 works okay.....
    EDIT:.....checked the MozzilaZine forums and there are a ton of posts (7+pages) on 1.03 glitches.....so I consider myself lucky with only one glitch

    Yippeee. Got the update and all is well again. Thank you Mozilla.

    Depending on which PC I've tested, the Javascript memory exploit test shows as either blank or X's. FWIW, I really don't care which I get as long as the exploit no longer get through...

    Also, I have relying on the FF zipped versions for almost a year. But 1.02 and 1.03 are only installer based. So, reluctantly, I've made the switch. So far, no issues there (thank goodness!)
