"With Firefox market share reaching a substantial level, is the popular Internet browser becoming a security nightmare for IT administrators? George Ou takes a look at the hard numbers. From the article: 'From March 2005 to September 2005 10 vulnerabilities were published for Microsoft Internet Explorer, 40 for Mozilla Firefox. In April-September timespan there were 6 exploits for MSIE, 11 for Firefox. Conclusion? As you can see, the facade that Firefox is the cure to the Internet Explorer security blues is quickly fading. It just goes to prove that any popular software worth hacking that has security vulnerabilities will eventually have to deal with live working exploits. Firefox mostly managed to stay under the radar from hackers before April of 2005.'"

 

i guess back to ie then.

 

that's what I've been saying.

The second hackers deem FireFox worthy of their time, then it'll get bombed.

 

sounds like they are talking about a business environment

solution:
remove install or download permissions

 

False.

 

umm.. ok? just because it's something you don't want to admit, doesn't make it false.

even though firefox has had more exploits discovered...

number of UNPATCHED vulnerabilities in IE >> FF

 

that is speculation on your part, not a fact.


anyway...
