opera 9 is out

and that makes it OK? correct me if i'm wrong, but opera is still a pay-for product, even in linux. firefox is free and does not expect you to put up with shoddy work like this.
--- Quote ---also note that it only effects people who have more than one user account - it's probably quite near the bottom of their bug list.
--- End quote ---
most, if not all, *ix systems have more than one user account. many windows systems do in fact. anyway having only one user per system is hardly an acceptable workaround. these excuses are worthy of microsoft itself!
--- Quote ---you know all the facts, it's up to you to draw your own conclusions whether they be logical or illogical.
--- End quote ---
that's right, glad you admit that people are allowed to make up their own minds! :-)
as it happens, the facts are tha i have seen all those "really" hidden files with my own eyes, so some loudmouth telling me that only idiots believe they are there is hardly going to change my mind, no matter whether you criticise my logic, my intelligence or any other faculty.

Only on mobile devices which are normally single user.

Debatable, Firfox is one big collection of shoddy bodges if you ask me.

But most home users only bother with two, root and their own user account.

I agree.

Yes, they are and if they draw the wrong conclusion then more fool them.

So they really can't be that hidden then!

Just my oppinion, on second thoughts, perhapps I was a bit harsh, maybe not idiots but zealots would be a better description.
piratePenguin:
Still no reply from Opera or secuntia, maybe it's been reported before and they're being dickheads about it.
Security and privacy is hardly a top priority for them.
This is not my problem anymore.
Aloone_Jonez:
When did you send the email?
I've been told that that's the problem these days, people send emails and expect an immediate response but in reality an email is more like a letter - the postal time. I'd wait a week or so before I dismiss them, besides don't secuntia focus more on vunerabilities that can be exploited by an external dark force?

I emailed them four days ago, after I posted about it here.
Considering it's a security/privacy issue, I'd nearly expect it to be FIXED by now.
And if secuntia focus only on buffer overruns and that crap then secuntia sucks.
