Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 Released

Mini-Geek writes "Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 has been released. As with previous 1.5.0.x patches, 1.5.0.3 can be downloaded as a small, incremental download. From the article: 'This update fixes a publicly disclosed denial of service weakness. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. The bugfixes previously planned for Firefox 1.5.0.3 were shifted to 1.5.0.4, and a quick update was released shortly after the recent to address the publicly reported issue.'"

I think security is a perfectly valid argument if you work from the premise that no software is bug-free. I'm more interested in the response of a company to a security hole than I am about the hole itself. In this case, I think it's pretty obvious that the Mozilla Foundation responds to and fixes security holes much faster than Microsoft does.

I do, sorta, because it shoots down "security" as a reason to use Firefox. It's been less than a month since the last point release, which fixed 21 critical security flaws.

So, that removes security as a reason for using Firefox. Speed never was a reason, and it certainly isn't efficient memory usage. That leaves what, exactly, as a reason for using Firefox over Opera, or even IE7? That it's open source? That's a pretty lousy reason.
