These kinds of articles about Firefox really anger me. Firefox is an excellent browser that is non-stop, continuously improving in development. if security holes are found in IE, you have to wait a whole month and even then you have to go to Windows Updates where patches are downloaded and installed to your OS. With Firefox, the holes are fixed within a week and a brand new executable is free for download. Firefox is also developing an update engine. It's got its share fo problems, but so does every browser. Because of Firefox, IE's market share has gone down to 88.6% and will continue to drop. So, considering the ratio of time it takes for each browser to fix vulnerabilities, people should not be so harsh to point the finger at Firefox. Even with vulnerabilities exposed, what's the likelihood that hackers will target Firefox with IE still dominating... at least for now? Think about it. |
