Ever wondered why firefox extension install makes you wait for a few seconds?

I was quite surprised to know the reason behind it. The reason for the delay is to prevent a very intelligent attack. Read about the attack here: http://www.squarefree.com/2004/07/01/race-conditions-in-security-dialogs/

BTW, the attack is quite cool. I am impressed!

Won't you wonder if somebody says he doesn't know what is a software company ? Am sure you will fall off from your chair. But believe me it is true. There still are people in third world countries who don’t know anything about software development, web application development or internet. So those who are not really aware about these buzzing things, try to find out what is a tech-world of Internet.
