From the site:
QuoteSolution:
This has been fixed in the following versions:
* Mozilla 1.7.2
* Firefox 0.9.3
* Thunderbird 0.7.3
So I bet it's already been fixed. I win!
It took them 21 days to release a patch for this if you look at the bug report.

That's Opera's title.
They aren't untouchable. Windows is just the main target and as more people use it there will be more flaws found.
Opera had problems too:

I am not even safe when I browse on lynx :'( You would think that would be the safest browser.

lynx' use of temporary files allows malicious local users to overwrite a lynx user's files or substitute contents of a downloaded file for another
hmm, I'm actually using FireFox now, and I like it. Thanks to Lobo for giving me the motivation to try it :)

I made a basic HTML parser that used a rich text box...does that count?
That would be interesting, actually. Anyone up for it?

I made a web based parser one time to get around my schools network, but it got to complicated, we still would not be able to watch flash cartoons. I went back to using remote desktop and browsing through my home computer. I am not up for it :( I just picked up a site job that I need to do.
You probably would not have to start from scratch. You could pick up something open source and mod the heck out of it... I would consider that to be acceptable 8)
I once stuck the Java object javax.swing.TextPane on a frame, set its type to "text/html" and put an address bar at the top. Does that count?
What I do not understand are hte images. You could parse through the html, and later the css. But how would you display images within this thing. I assume you would not be makeing a graphical browser. This seems like it would be some hard core codeing.
I think a user-mode TCP stack that didn't use file descriptors would kick ass.
