This is an interesting development, I noticed the pop-up on my Firefox yesterday. The reason however wasn’t security it was ‘instability’.
It’s a fair move by Mozilla though as the add-on can cause security vulnerabilities in Firefox outside of their control. They can’t fix the software, so the best thing they can do to ensure user [...]
Ah a bug in our beloved Firefox, after the latest 3.5 update (which sees some definite improvements).
The last one I recall was the Clickjacking Vulnerability, which also effected Chrome.
It seems like it’s not too serious of an issue and will only cause crashing, there’s no room for remote exploitation or code execution. So it may [...]
Just remember that even though Firefox tends to be more secure than Internet Exploder – it’s not immune from vulnerabilities (although they do tend to get fixed much much faster).
The latest one that’s cropped up in both Firefox and Chrome is a clickjacking vulnerability. This is basically where a link is replaced by an attacker [...]
Some new statistics just came out regarding Browser Security, this is more in terms of which users are most likely to apply patches and be using the most secure version.
I would have thought Firefox would have been pretty high since the newer series prompt automatically new patches. My only guess is a lot of people [...]
It seems a data leakage bug has struck Firefox recently and has been confirmed by Window Snyder the security bod at Mozilla.
It’s basically a Chrome directory traversal bug (It seems a lot of the Firefox issues have had to do with chrome?).
It’s rated as low risk, but it can give away the existence of files [...]
After the web 2.0 hacking with firefox and its plugins article I wrote some months ago, recently I found a new way to transform firefox in the ultimate pen-testing tool… actually it has been lying in my inbox for days…
…new Firefox Framework Map collection of the most useful security oriented extensions. We called the framework [...]
Grab the new Firefox now, 2.0.0.1! 8 Security Vulnerabilities have been fixed in this last release of the year 2006.
I’m glad to see Firefox upholding their quick turnaround and rapid fixing of issues that spring up during development and improvement of their product.
Mozilla has released the first update for the Firefox 2.0 browser to fix [...]

Looks like Mozilla is toughening it’s stance on security, people have been putting it down lately, especially those from the Microsoft camp as there have been a few flaws.
But well, it’s still not part of the operating system, the flaws are generally fixed within a couple of days and the patching system is simple and [...]
