CurlingSteve Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I haven't looked at the internals of the extension (nor have I installed an tried it), but I'd bet all it's doing is opening IE as a tab in Firefox.Therefore, you're still exposed to any IE vulnerabilities.Don't think it's isolating you from IE vulnerabilities.And keep this in mind.As Firefox becomes more popular, the more likely it will be attacked.There are plenty of vulnerable places in Firefox as well.Bottom line, watch what you allow to install on your system.
