Longest standing Firefox bug to be fixed
Written by Carlton on April 25, 2010 – 4:30 pmA bug which has existed in the popular Firefox browser for nearly 10 years is to be fixed imminently.
The bug relates to the web history of a browser and basically allows a hacker to discover which sites have been visited by checking the cascading style sheets which display the links in purple and not blue.
A spokesman for Mozilla, the developers behind Firefox, stated that some sites might look slightly odd after the changes, especially sites which use more than colour to differentiate visited links, but the privacy advantages far outweigh this. Firefox has a 25% share of the worldwide browser market and is a favourite amongst software developers especially due to the large amount of browser plug-ins which can be easily installed.
