Funny,

so much rant about not receiving any contact from Netscape (AOL
subsidiary) or about not even giving prior notification to the
developers about the bug AND, all in all, no one even posts to a
bugzilla entry on bugzilla.mozilla.org which is the best place for bug
reports on Mozilla (ie, *not marketdroid webpages*).

This is either ignorance of bugzilla (bad but I can understand that), or
intention to difamate the mozilla developers, which is very bad, since a
lot of them dedicate their free time on providing us an extremely
standards compliant, Free Software, cross platform web browser, and so
we actually owe them a favour (so to speak).

If it is ignorance, I will, then, try to educate:
  1. load your favorite browser, and go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
  2. submit bug
  3. if very urgent, go to irc.mozilla.org, /join #mozillazine and
SCREAM SECURITY BUG, can anyone urgently look at *URL*FOR*BUG*ID,
please? I can help with details.

In any other case than having first tryed to do that, this rant seems
absolutely unecessary.
