A Bad Month for Firefox
marty writes "Februrary is not a good month for Mozilla developers. Infoworld reports about the efforts of Polish researcher Michael Zalewski, who apparently kept finding new vulnerabilities in the popular browser on a daily basis through the month, first postponing the 2.0.0.2 update, and then finding a remotely exploitable flaw in it immediately after its release."
...because FF and the other moz products are primarily *windows* applications? Really, this a legit question. If there was a different browser that had nothing to do with trying to work on windows, absolutely nothing, no effort to make it work on windows, no windows devs contributing, nothing, something for just open source operating systems only , could we who don't use windows have something better? And let us be real here, FF/mozilla IS primarily a windows product open whatever code or not. That is the main focus for mozilla and always has been.
I barely surfed 2 pages after updating to 2.02 and I'm already crashing again.
As is typical with Open Source, with Microsoft, it a terrible symptom of everything that's wrong with The Borg. But with Firefox, it's a "feature".
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
