Germany Warns Against Using Firefox

Posted by timothy on from the fuer-ihre-sicherheit dept.

jayme0227 writes "Due to the recent exploit in Firefox, Germany has warned against its use. This comes a couple months after Germany advised against using IE. Perhaps we should start taking odds as to which browser will be next." Note: the warning (from the Federal Office for Information Security) is provisional, and should be rendered moot by the release later this month of 3.6.2.

    That is a really poor standard you have. I don't want software that patches exploits quickly, I want software that was correctly written and had no exploits to begin with.
