Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Note to self : best way to disseminate malicious links would be through an article about 0day.

@[email protected] I assume that Betterbird (fork of Thunderbird) and LibreWolf (fork of Firefox) are also affected unless running the latest versions?

@[email protected] They weren't mentioned in the ESET research, but are most likely affected

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'm sad to say I'm happy to have left Firefox and NOT tried any fork of it.. I'll stay on Vivaldi for a log time, it seems...
