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.

    It took Mozilla a month to fix this and before the warning they were still going to keep the fix out of non-dev version until 30th. If Mozilla lacks so much in providing a fix for a serious exploitable vulnerability, I think it's in place to warn users. Maybe it even got Mozilla rethinking their strategy and release the fix early now.
