Inappropriate?I just checked through my settings.. and under application its set to always ask. but this didn't ask at all. it just launched and installed before i knew what was going on.
Im not using flock anymore til I find out more information.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Hi Don,
Sorry to hear about this. What version of Flock are you using? Please make sure you are using the latest version (currently 2.0.3) as it is the most up-to-date in terms of security fixes.
Regards,

Inappropriate?I have 2.0.3.

Inappropriate?Its not just Mozilla based web browsers that are effected. My friend was using IE with everything up to date and got it. -
Inappropriate?You would assume that IE would be targeted, of course, so if its getting through on Mozilla based IE would be the same! you seem to be assuming too that IE is better with security? if that's so I think ill go back to IE.

Inappropriate?I wouldn't say IE is better with security. Historically, it has been the opposite. Mozilla has a better record for turning around security fixes than IE does.
Flock will be releasing a 2.0.4 version in the coming days that includes all the latest security patches from Mozilla.
