Long story short: Firefox is the only secure browser for conducting PayPal transactions from Windows-based computers. This is because of a rogue PayPal SSL certificate that has been released "in the wild" by some people in desperate need of a life. Recommended versions of Firefox: 3.5 or 3.0.13 or later.
Users of non-Microsoft operating systems do not seem to be affected.
Here is a link to the original article.

I've had good experiences using Firefox for PayPal on Windows, but I wasn't aware of the SSL certificate issue. Thanks for the heads up! |
