| 14 | I may agree too, if some facts fall into place. Read on. |

| 16 | I was wondering how safe is running Firefox 38.x at this day and age? |
| 17 | |
| 18 | If you look up: |
| 19 | http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/09/mozilla-checks-if-firefox-is-affected-by-same-malware-vulnerability-as-tor/ |
| 20 | ( continued and improved from: |
| 21 | https://hackernoon.com/tor-browser-exposed-anti-privacy-implantation-at-mass-scale-bd68e9eb1e95#.ctpp9u5fl ) |
| 22 | and especially the Jacob Appelbaum's: |
| 23 | https://blog.torproject.org/blog/detecting-certificate-authority-compromises-and-web-browser-collusion |
| 24 | So if you recall (some of the readers must have read those) the issues |
| 25 | there, and how badly Firefox was exposed and pretty often, then my query |
| 26 | is how do you assess how secure Firefox 38.x that you install might be? |
| 27 | |
