State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe

Posted by timothy on from the sheeps'-bladders-may-be-used-to-prevent-earthquakes dept.

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?"
