Password Issues with Firefox

From the article:

"Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer (IE) is also susceptible to these type of attacks because, like Firefox, it does not ensure that password information is being sent to the same server that requests it, Chapin said.

But IE is less likely to be tricked because it does a more thorough job in checking to see where the log-in form is coming from before it automatically submits password and user information, he added."

Rgardless of your browser, passwords were intended to be stored in your head, not on a piece of paper or in your computer. I know it's difficult to remember all your passwords for every random site, but at least remember passwords for things like online banking and don't store them in a password manager.

Since Camino and Firefox are both Mozilla projects, how much code is shared between the two besides the Gecko rendering engine is the question. I guess it's not being reported that Camino suffers from the same exploit, but I still think Firefox is far more mature, and can't-live-without extensions exist for it that don't for Camino. Plus, Camino = no native RSS support. I look forward to seeing it develop though.
