I also use Slax Linux Live CD, and I saw that firefox contained something called Trackware.Alexa, http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=11837&highlight=alexa%20in%20firefox Trackware.Alexa should only affect Windows users as the following link http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-062410-3624-99 says, but If it made its way into Linux. We are not safe anymore are we? We do not need "Toolbars" and those trackware/malware/spyware stuff that exists in Windows. We have to keep an eye out for what is coming. Now I can say Gooooooo..........ooo Konqueror!!!! :) Thanks for the warning, I was looking forward to update Firefox, now I'll keep it as it came with Fedora 9.
