version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks." Are

2010/2/18-3/9 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:53713 Activity:nil | 2/18 Why is there now Firefox 3.5.8 when there was already 3.6 a month ago?

2013/4/9-5/18 [Computer/SW/Mail, Academia/Berkeley/CSUA] UID:54647 Activity:nil | 4/8 What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,

Recommendations?
