Firefox tells me they will no longer be updating their XP 32bit

their 'advice' and proceeding as usual?

Mozilla's solution now starts with Windows 7. There would also
various Unix implementations. Security has a different meaning
according to interests and procedures involved for employing the
concept. This month Ebay, for instance, raised its security concerns
to a sales base of prior customers, in issuing a similar statement by
curtailing that segment of customers from using their rights, any
longer, to purchase Ebay items.

Does that mean that Amazon, in not taking upon themselves the same
security issues, as Ebay, is less secure and therefore more willing to
do or by effect cause you harm? Or would it mean that Ebay is
relatively dwarfed by Amazon business modeling, a latter and pivotal
controlling factor overall of the WEB, and by continuing to dominate
sales profits, such so-called security is least of all imperative to a
focus of their established, successful, and a domineering presence?

What do you think security actually means to someone already of a
lessor stature, unable to contract and store national defense secrets,
as does Amazon, when they then turn again to look down one farther, to
such as yourself, and tell you that you're in danger not heed to their
appraisal of your present ****ant situation? And why, if not you, do
you suppose so many others then will?
