Opera Screeches at Mozilla Over Security Disclosure
The Register is reporting that Mozilla's handling of a recent security exploit that affected both browsers has drawn an unhappy response from the Opera team. "Claudio Santambrogio, an Opera desktop developer, said the Mozilla team notified it of a security issue only a day before publishing an advisory. This gave the Norwegian software developers insufficient time to make an evaluation. [...] Santambrogio goes on to attack Mozilla's handling of the issue, arguing that it places Opera users at unnecessary risk."
to fix the exploit wins!

Clearly, the Mozilla team should be performing full regression testing on every bug they fix against every browser known to man. What if the bug affects NCSA Mosaic?
Hmm, there's something wrong with my sarcasmeter, it seems to be off the scale...
As a Firefox user, I'd like to apologize to Opera users (both of you) for leaving you exposed.
Next time we'll just let you figure it out on your own.
it places Opera users at unnecessary risk
Yeah, both of them.

I would say it places Opera users at unnecessary risk of becoming Firefox users :-)

What?
You want me to RTFA before drawing conclusions?
You must be new here....
If you disagree with me on social issues, then it's pretty clear that you are a narrow-minded bigot.
Oh, a sarcasm detector. That's useful.
