Firefox 3 is zonder twijfel veiligste overzichtsbrowser die sommige verbazende veiligheidseigenschappen heeft.
Maar als u Firefox 3 gebruikt om veilige betalingen online te verrichten gebruikend uw creditcard toen zou u kunnen willen nadenken overschakelend op Internet Explorer en hier bent waarom!
Vandaag ondertekende ik omhoog een registratievorm bij De Technologieën van LayeredTech om een specifieke server voor één van mijn aanstaande diensten te kopen. Zodra ik raakte leg knoop, verpletterde voor Firefox.
Toen ik Firefox opnieuw begon, opende het de verwerkte inschrijvingspagina en aan mijn verschrikking werd mijn creditcard tweemaal verwerkt. Dank aan de uitstekende steun in LayeredTech, verklaarde ik mijn kwestie aan hen en zij gaven één van de transactie na een kleine controle vrij.
Maar niet is iedereen gelukkig genoeg! Firefox 3 heeft een goede tendens van zo het verpletteren in de zeer slechtste tijd als u uw geld, altijd schakelaar aan Internet Explorer wilt besparen terwijl online het verrichten van veilige betalingen.
















goed voor u hoorde ik het zelfde ding eveneens van een vriend
maar hij was niet gelukkig en werd tweemaal geladen
Goed voor u dat u uw geldrug kreeg.
Btw welke nieuwe dienst u die is plannen, wat een specifieke server nodig zal hebben?
Goed
zijn soort geheim voor nu.
Het zal niet echt de unieke dienst maar iets zijn dievan nieuwe bloggers een zullen houden.
Droevig, maar „veiligste overzichtsbrowser die sommige verbazende veiligheidseigenschappen“ heeft is browser van de Opera, hoewel het niet zo populair met gebruikers door sommige subjectieve en objectieve redenen is.
@Po Vit
Aan elk van hem
Niet D.W.Z. zou veranderen zelfs als het me van 40 lasten… zou redden
De dubbele lasten voor de zelfde transactie zijn 90% de fout van de plaats die uw online last verwerkte: niet uw browser.
Er zou altijd een voorziening in de kaart-verwerkende software moeten zijn om dubbele lasten voor de zelfde transactie/de rekening te verwerpen.
The best wise thing would be to keep myself on the safe-side on the first place and for that I certainly have to use a browser which does not crash while submitting forms.
I have noticed that Firefox 3 has crashed more often than Firefox 2.
@David Peterson
For me Firefox 3 crashes ten times more as often as Firefox 2.
I hope at least someone agrees with me.
As “OP Dave” mentioned every site that includes a system for online payments should be aware of such things such as crashes, duplicate submits and other USER inputs that might alter the transaction, in your case by charging you twice.
@Dj Flush: Why did you restored your session after the crash? You could checked with the company if the order process was okay after the crash and if not, do it again :>
For me, working everyday with FF3 and having lot of tabs opened i have expirienced a small amount of crashes. After all, most of Firefox crashes in the previous versions had to do with some Addons that messed up with the rendering engine of the browser. ( Firebug was one + Yslow another! )
So you recommend using IE ,
(the browser with the worst security history)

over Firefox (the most secure )

just because the site you accessing doesn’t properly handle duplicate transactions ?
So what you are saying is you would rather have your sensitive information stolen than risk possible duplicate ( 1 time) charge?
:O firefox mysteries are taking dark sides day by day
Can be pretty hard on you at times, what I do at times when the browser crashes at a critical time is to check if the order has already been placed or not.
I only order a second time after I have confirmed that my card has not been charged, even though it may take a few hours to confirm that.
sorry for your crash of cash, but i think this is special case, i do online banking and transfer of fund using FF and so far so good since FF3 beta 2.
Wouldn’t it be simpler to set Firefox not to reopen webpages after restarting, or am I missing soemthing here?
FF does seem to have a lot of Security vulnerabilites. Lucky you got you money back.
This is actually an issue with their site, they are using GET instead of POST to process the transaction. Important things like that should always use GET. In fact, google deleted some peoples sites accidentally because they used GET (which is used to download and crawl webpages) instead of POST (which is used to send data to the server properly, like with this comment). You should complain to them about how they use GET instead of POST.
Unless you have session restore configured to automatically restore your session, you were prompted and chose to have Firefox reopen your tabs the 2nd time. Being on an SSL website, Firefox naturally, for your security didn’t cache that page and reloaded it, which was unfortunate for your case as reloading the page was a “bad thing”. If you’re concerned about your session being reloaded again, choose the don’t resume option when Firefox prompts you, simple as that.
Its unfortunate you got double-charged and that Firefox crashed. Make sure you send in a crash report so those crashes can be fixed, or passed on to the plugin or addon vendors responsible.
Hrm, much better explaination of the problem in the comment before mine.
“Important things like that should always use _POST_.” (correction) and Firefox’s session restore is smart enough to not resend post information which may result in such duplicate transactions. You should definitely complain to any online retailer who uses GET for forms for such things as the entire query string including your sensitive info is sent in the URL.
“Wouldn’t change to IE even if it would save me from 40 charges”
Jean, you are one stupid bitch
Same thing happened to me, luckily I was using PayPal, it crashed before it got processed… phew!
I will take my chances getting billed twice for an online payment before I will will I.E. to make a secure payment I E has more holes than a swiss cheese when it comes to anything security related. the only reason most people have it and that it is the most common browser is because #1 mmicrosoft wil. not allow us to use other browsers for windows update. &; I’E’ comes installed with windows. i myself use I.E. ONLY For wwidows update. Anything else I use Fire fox or opera.
