Mozilla VP Talks the State of Firefox

lisah writes "As Firefox downloads pass the 200 million mark, people are talking about how its security features stack up against IE7 and protect against malware. Mozilla VP Mike Schroepfer told NewsForge's Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier that security will continue to be an issue 'for anything written in native code' but Mozilla intends to meet the challenge by including JavaScript 1.7 with the browser's 2.0 release. Schroepfer also talked about the timeline of future releases and offered just enough information to wet our whistles for 3.0."

Security?

[remembertomorrow]

As long as people are running programs from administrator accounts, there will be far more security problems than there should be.

Maybe when Vista comes out (circa 2020 AD) and becomes widespread, this problem will be alleviated a bit. Those of us using other OSes (Linux, MacOS, etc.) are fine at the moment.
