State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe

linuxkrn writes "The State of Colorado's Office of Technology (OIT) has set up a work skills website. The problem is that the site says 'DO NOT use FIREFOX or other Browsers besides IE. It has been decided that Mozilla based, non-IE browsers pose a security risk.' (Original emphasis from site.) If the leading IT agency for the State is making these uneducated claims, should the people worry about their other decisions?"

Why the assumption that the claims are uneducated?

For all we know, there's been a piece of malware in a Firefox add-in or something and their concern is valid. Benefit of the doubt.
