Firefox Was the Most Attacked & Exploited Browser At Pwn2own 2014
darthcamaro writes "Though IE, Chrome and Safari were all attacked and all were exploited, no single web browser was exploited at this year's Pwn2own hacking challenge as Mozilla Firefox. A fully patched version of Firefox was exploited four different times by attackers, each revealing new zero-day vulnerabilities in the open-source web browser. When asked why Mozilla was attacked so much this year, Sid Stamm, senior engineering manager of security and privacy said, 'Pwn2Own offers very large financial incentives to researchers to expose vulnerabilities, and that may have contributed in part to the researchers' decision to wait until now to share their work and help protect Firefox users.' The Pwn2own event paid researchers $50,000 for each Firefox vulnerability. Mozilla now pays researcher only $3,000 per vulnerability."
Oh, wait...
Or not that I saw. I wonder if, like usual, they depend on running malicious code from the attacking site, rather than being sensible and turning off javascript, running ghostery, and the like.
Once you start running code from attackers, you're just asking to be pwned.
Firefox is the most unstable program in common use when many windows and tabs are open. The latest version is far more unstable and crashy that earlier versions.
Firefox gets more than $100 million from Google each year. Where does the money go? Do you see that amount of development each year?
The Mozilla Foundation stopped doing more than minimal work on Thunderbird.
The Firefox instability was first reported before version 1 was released.
Check the bugzilla and the security update the next day for full details on Firefox.
Ever considered that it might not be unstable for every one?
Firefox is unstable when many windows and tabs are open, even when using NoScript, Adblock, and Ghostery, as mentioned above.
Many crashes do not start the Crash Reporter.
See for yourself. Go to this URL:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/home/products/Firefox/versions/27.0#duration=14
(Mozilla does not allow links from Slashdot.)
Those are NOT ALL the crashes! Those are just the crashes that don't also crash the Crash Reporter.
The earlier version, 26.0 is crashy, also:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/home/products/Firefox/versions/26.0
Yes. Someone makes this comment every time, for the last 9 years, since version 1.0.
Most people don't open a lot of windows and tabs at the same time. The people who do that are usually those doing serious research. For example, what to do about the changes in Google Voice coming in May, 2014?
The problem is much worse when many windows and tabs are open under the Windows OS and Windows is hibernated several times.
That's my experience, also. Version 20 was considerably more stable than the latest version 27.01.
Just saying, I use Firefox as my primary browser. It last crashed.....I can't remember when. Is it maybe possible there's something wrong with your computer?
I use it because IE...though I don't have anything specifically against the new versions, I just don't like it. Chrome, beyond not trusting it being a google product (I assume it logs every keystroke, it wouldn't be out of character for them, though I will grant they probably don't log password fields, but all others...), is there honestly a more bloated browser out there? Firefox right now has 19 tabs open for me, using 950 megs of RAM (a bunch of those tabs have plugins running such as PDF viewers or video viewers). Chrome, 3 tabs, using a grand total of a bit over 500 megs of RAM (hard to say exactly how much since I don't want to pull out a calculator and add together the I believe 8 different processes), and all just displaying simple web pages.
Even with lots of tabs open, it's stable for me on Linux. Maybe it's your OS.
I do my browsing in an untrusted or disposable Qubes domain, which is about as strong security as you can get for a functional desktop system. Still, it would be awesome if pwn2own made it one of their target OS's... now for *that* I would get out the popcorn!
I am using Firefox for lack of a better option. I
IE is out of the question because it is too clunky, and Chrome has Google intruding into extension use and so on. I had to ditch it the day I discovered that they can remotely disable locally installed extensions. Firefox and Mozilla in general seem hell bent of making everything they make as horrible and cartoony looking as possible (Austalis(-hit)) .
It is sad that for all importance browsers have today, there are basically only 2-3 options to choose from.
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
That's odd, I keep literally dozens of tabs open in it all the time and haven't had it crash on me for as long as I can remember.
Are agnostics skeptical of unicorns too?
Had the same problems with FF crashing, switched to Opera next, works great for me.
Everything above is my opinion....YMMV
Funny that you mention Linux. Firefox crashes about twice a week here, most often with multimedia content. Linux and 8GB of memory. And yes, I am one of those that keeps 50+ tabs open.
Perl Programmer for hire
I do, too, and I have almost never had FF crash on me. Since you mention multimedia content, perhaps its your GPU drivers or some other config.
Yes, but don't you think we have enough crime? If God really loves us, he'll keep us in the dark as always!

A heavy amount of crashes are related to the Flash plugin. Make sure you're running the latest version.
The hackers waited for the Pwn2Own event to release the vunerability. This makes me wonder how many Windows XP vunerabilities are lurking and will be released on April 9th???
Yes, I do see them making that much effort. But mostly because I actually pay attention to what they're doing, not just a few negative articles on Slashdot. And not just Firefox, either. They've helped make many a web specification, and vastly improved a number of them. Without their influence the web would be a far less stable place in general, and I have absolutely nothing against them making $100 million from Google from search engine revenue.
I've noticed that ALL browsers have become less stable over the years, after they reach a sweet spot. Chrome is the least "crashy", but makes up for it with other frustrating bugs that weren't around a few years ago. In fact I would gladly trade it's stability if it meant it was less frustrating to use in some cases. Firefox is just another browser with its own frustrations.
That would make a lot of sense, I haven't had a crash in firefox for at least a year.
Don't have flash installed and keep firefox running with lots of tabs pretty much 24/7, the only times I restart it is when updates comes out and for windows update (Win7 x64).
Not having flash works surprisingly well, I don't even miss it.
They can upgrade to Microsoft Windows 8.1, that's what about them!
My record on FF, thought this was a few versions ago, was just over 1 GB for 4 tabs (no multimedia, just two wiki-type pages and 2 work pages with no flash). I might still have a screenshot of it laying around somewhere.
I keep many, many tabs open all the time in osx and windows and have no issues. Are you sure you don't have a problematic plugin.
On ubuntu, on my home machine, I find firefox unusable even after much tweaking.
I also notice that chrome handles bad javascript much better than firefox. Other than that I think firefox is a fine browser.
I'm sure most of the security exploits have to do plugins. Its a common trade off, lock it down and make it more secure or open it up and make it potentially more usable.
I found it but I'm wrong. It was 4 tabs, but it was 2 slashdot pages (old UI) and wiki-type pages.
I think the 'crashy' people are installing huge numbers of questionable plugins. I have good luck with Firefox but only install a few well selected plugins (noscript, better privacy, adblock, flash block, littlefox, and self destructing cookies). Because many of those plugins block crud like flash ads I get even better stability.
I've found that most often it's just a crap version of Flash, bad drivers, and surprisingly often it's also bad RAM. But there certainly are crash problems with Firefox as they do their best to bring it into the future. Of course that's not to apologize for it, but at least it's painfully obvious they're constantly improving it, even if some people seem to wish it would stay in the past.
I mostly use chrome for general surfing, but I still love firefox for firebug and its other very useful add-ons for web development. I know all the other browsers are copying firebug but they don't compare.
I've just not found that to be the case since the M days. And that's with usually 3-4 windows with lots of tabs open. I actually like and use both Chrome and Firefox. I think to say one is oh so much better than the other just doesn't fly from what I've seen and what my users have said. They both work very well.

Both Chrome and IE (yes slashdotters I did say IE) support lowrights mode.
This means it has no access to the file system at all, no access to processes or threads and %appdata is its prison ... assuming you are on Windows 7 or greater on Windows. XP users will get hacked regardless of browser because the OS does not support kernel level sandboxing.
I left Firefox for IE 9 in 2011 after it won rewards on tomshardware.com. Then switched to Chrome. Firefox like Netscape before it is a sad shell of its former self. I do admit the later firefox releases are much more lenient on ram usage and have improved drastically.
But I have an older Phenom II x6. Nice 6 core with virtualization support for VMWare .. but it is 2.6 ghz and is showing its age at only 2.6 ghz. My machine needs multi processing/threading apps to run close to modern and they provide greater security. One tab does not interfere with another and can be assigned for each core.
To prevent my fan from going high and causing high usage both IE 10+ and Chrome utilize my system fine and still display pages as fast as those reading this on an icore5 or later. But Firefox puts +20 tabs on one cpu with no lowrights mode and as you can image when firebug is on it slows down all the tabs and it is a security risk.
Like netscape it was the lack of funding that killed it agaisn't IE 6 onslaught. I wonder if the same is true? I used Netscape 4.7 before succumbing to IE 6 and then Firefox 1.5 to IE 9 and later Chrome today.

I had trouble with youtube playing music as soon as you use flashblock or adblock. No issue at all with other browsers.
FYI this is after I disabled it for the FREAKING SITE. It seems unless they are uninstalled no music or videos can be displayed
http://saveie6.com/
What?!?! Chrome developer tools beat the pants of Firebug, in my opinion. I install Firefox for non-developers, for people who consume content. For developing sites, Chrome saves me gobs of time compared to Firefox.
Is *any* browser stable with that many tabs open? Not in my experience, except by failing to load half of them correctly at all.
The tendency of Firefox to preserve its own DNS cach means I cannot use it when hopping from VPN to VPN with split DNS running. unless I configure and install my _own_ local DNS server to auto-reconfigure every time I activate a VPN. I'm afraid it's become unusable for me for real work and testing when switching from internal to external website access as I debug network and configuration issues: it's the only browser that fails this way.
It's 2014 and you're still using flash on youtube? Why the hell?
youtube.com/html5
My lady is running less plugins than I am, and literally running a subset of the plugins I am running, and her Firefox crashes fairly frequently while mine crashes only occasionally on a resume from suspend. The notable difference is that she is running Windows (7 x32) and I am running Linux (Ubuntu somethingrecent.) If one of us has more stable hardware, it's her, and not me.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I would recommend noscript. Firefox does have a glaring flaw in that all the tabs run in the same process so if one gets wonky, it's game over for everything. It's probably flash that's killing you. I use noscript which blocks everything (like flash) that I don't explicitly want running and it makes Firefox very stable. As a side benefit, it makes browsing much safer. I use Chrome a lot too but when I'm going to any questionable sites, I use firefox just because of noscript.
Are agnostics skeptical of unicorns too?
I use Firefox all fucking day long at work and come home and use it more. I see maybe one crash every 3 or 4 months. It's a surprise, an abnormality. WTF are you doing? Run memtest, don't run stupid, check your PEBKAC, show me a fucking stack trace or it didn't happen.
In my experience, FF crashes are somewhat predictable as you see slowdown typing or clicking, and notice FF pegging one of your cores.
It does not happen on Windows if I run script blockers and turn off Flash, since site ads can't peg you.
It does happen a lot on the work computers where JS and ads must be left on. The memory ceiling is too low on the 32 bit work image. Think that your nominal 4GB gives you wiggle room? Nope, because 1GB is reserved by Windows just to handle its resources and your hardware. So that leaves you 3GB. Basically, office apps and 30 tabs and FF gets close to 1GB and pushes Windows total RAM use close to the 3GB ceiling.
Jesus Christ! DF? Do you like to share? If so hook me up!
Until another browser maker publishes such information there's nothing meaningful to compare with. Those same users could have all kinds of shit crashing. There's no way to know what the 1 out of 100 (that you are part of) are doing wrong. Stop clicking every link posted to 4chan or something.
I understand it sucks being the 1% but that hardly makes the whole thing bad.
have you considered that GOD has not once appeared in thousands of years?
My gosh, its almost like 3rd party addons can make a product unstable!
And its almost like people have been misunderstanding that about firefox for the last 10 years!
Flash runs in a separate process, and has for quite a while.
God came back recently, through the vehicle of the operating system TempleOS.
It's 2014 and you're still using flash on youtube? Why the hell?
youtube.com/html5
Ew. That html5 mode is a "trial" that I consider a buggy alpha.
Lots of youtube videos will just fail, and dutifully remind you download flash. Most industry-backed and homepage-featured content wants to force the adertisement API on you, which only works on flash. Status quo for years. So if you join that trial and want US content not made by your cousin, or anything with copyrighted background music accidentally sprinkled in, google will try to monetize ads... and you'll be seeing those static-filled error messages about upgrading to flash.
I recommend the video without flash extension on FF
It is buggy too (ALT+W to trigger if you don't see video load), but issues are fewer than by html5 alone. So turn off flash fully and set it to autoparse on each page load via its options pref screen. Downside seems to be:
FF only
Fullscreen is gray (broken videos)
Anything without video sources available in libre formats will only work as a orced non-streamed file download, and h264-mp4 and flv are pretty common. html5 still has a long way to go, and google won't consider it ready until it can monetize ads with it.
Another workaround used to be setting iPhone and iPad user agent strings, but I failed to get that to work today.
Every time a client complains about how crashy firefox is I backup their bookmarks (and make a copy of their profile) delete the profile, uninstall firefox and delete all the directories then reinstall firefox and import thier bookmarks, install noscript, adblock plus and ghostery and tell them to use it like that for a while.
Without exception, this fixes ALL the problems. Start blaming the crappy plugins instead of firefox and stop installing every damn plugin in the universe.
Yeah, right...
I run with about 200 tabs open all the bloody time (I know...) and Firefox isn't slow or crashing.
I also run AdBlock and FlashBlock.
Flash is the biggest culprit to Firefox problems. And that is really no wonder, given the quality of Flash plugin code and its role as an NSA attack vector.
Sometimes you do end up with a massive memory consumption, especially if you leave a site with some "push" feature running for several days or a week. Then its enough to kill that tab and things will settle.
If you get Flash problems the only thing you can do is kill the tab and restart Firefox. You can usually see the Flash going amok in the process listing.
What distro/environment? In Mepis, Debian, OpenSUSE, and Fedora, it has been rock-solid stable for me using KDE 4, GNOME2, KDE 3/Trinity. I usually only keep 4-10 tabs open and use the Too Many Tabs extension for the rest, and Iusually kill off the Flash plugin via htop an hour or two after watching a video. That's a nine-year-old 2GHz Centrino laptop with 1GB of RAM, running 24/7 with Firefox almost always in use, AdBlock Plus & FlashBlock installed.
OTOH it crashed or froze up fairly often when I was using Ubuntu (roughly May 2008-Jan 2010) on a very similar laptop.
Now mostly at Usenet:comp.misc & SoylentNews.org (it's made of people!)
I'm curious: if God had appeared to someone, say 2500 years ago, could that person have recorded the event in any way that would convince you?
Correction: 24/7 with Firefox almost always in use when I'm actively interacting with the system (6-12 hours/day, maybe). I didn't mean that there's always somebody using Firefox at all hours of day and night.
Now mostly at Usenet:comp.misc & SoylentNews.org (it's made of people!)
Odd. I use YouTube relatively often, and always have AdBlock Plus &Flashblock enabled/installed. The biggest problem I've run into with the combo is that ABP thus far can't get rid of the smallish semi-collapsing ad that appears within the video and is sponsored by the account holder.
From what I recall, though, the main difference between Firefox and other browsers is that it's the only one that lets ABP block sites from even requesting a resource; on other browsers, all ABP can do is hide elements from view once they're downloaded. That might somehow tie into the problem you're having.
FWIW I'm using Firefox 22 (I dislike the changes made as of 23) in Mepis Linux, on an old 2GHz Centrino laptop with 1GB of RAM.
Now mostly at Usenet:comp.misc & SoylentNews.org (it's made of people!)
addendum: I'm not trying to make a point about testimony of a single person being unreliable, so let's assume for the sake of the argument that this deity appeared to several people at different times & places within a few years 2,500 years ago.
How could a historian of that era have recorded these events to convince you that they really took place and were indeed manifestations of God?
I don't see how they could (unless they include some trick which reproducably allows anyone to make God appear - something that seems at odds with the idea of a deity, shouldn't a God have at least as much free will as we humans do?) and imho your comment is intellectually dishonest.

Flash runs in a separate process, and has for quite a while.
Rendering is done with synchronous IPC so Flash can still lag the browser UI. The separate process also only protects against 95% of Flash crashes, it's still possible for the plugin process to send IPC messages which crash the browser process (have had that happen repeatably when looking at a particular Flash movie).
If a god appeared once 2500 years ago, is it relevant? A god that only exists where you cannot see it or in the ambivalence of personal belief is indistinguishable from an imaginary, very judgmental friend.
I think it depends on the nature of the evidence. If the person had significant knowledge imparted to them that would be extremely unlikely for them to know any other way, then that would be far more interesting.
Imagine if a prophet included a page of maths leading up to e=m*c*c or the chemical formula of a cancer cure (although I don't see why a god would invent cancer and then want the cure to be known) or maybe even a work of art that is so inspirational that people are struck with awe? However, if a god wanted to be widely known, it'd be easy to write commandments into the side of a mountain or even create a new bird species whose songs were the different commandments.
The problem with a human testifying about contact with a god is that they should have extraordinary evidence. Third hand reports of turning water into wine or walking on water are too easy to be faked when specific knowledge of the future cannot be faked (unless it's retroactively).
If I ever meet a god, I'm gonna take a bunch of photos, get him to post on my facebook and ask him some specific questions. If he doesn't want to impart knowledge (apart from wishy-washy "be good to others"), then I'm going to suspect that he's a hallucination. There's a lot more evidence throughout history that humans easily hallucinate and make up shit.

If they had attacked Nightly instead of the current release version, they could have violated Nightly daily.
I think the more concerning thing is that people were probably waiting with their exploits to cash in 50.000USD instead of 3.000 USD and thus lowering security over the bragging rights that Pwn2own is the bestest in finding vulnerabilities. Indirectly they did what closed source does and that was to tell the people NOT to give out their exploits, but instead wait.
Indirectly is the word here. Now they are aware, they should NOT do it again, because then must take resposability. If you give people an incentive to NOT reveal something, you can nt blame later that it was only THEIR resposability. You have to take yours as well. It is not OR/OR it is AND/AND. Both are equally resposible. Not even sharing the resposabilty, equaly.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.

someone forgot Opera? Just asking. www.opera.com
... that open source is superior. owait...
I run: Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Just because you have a hammer, doesn't mean everything is a nail.
I'd be more concerned about the severity of the exploit than the number of them.
Considering the article, wouldn't it be kinda obvious why firefox got hacked? The source code is available. This means more errors and vulnerabilities are going to get fixed than in firefox than in chrome or IE.
We just fixed that on nightly and aurora.
Some of the money goes to Servo I suspect. They are writing a new layout system from scratch in Rust to get, among other things, better performance and security.
Wow, this is shocking they were able to pull this off! I would have thought that by the time the first or second one was found, they would be too caught up with the next version of firefox being rolled out or the browser simply locking up over and over and over due to the flash plugin spinning in a loop. It's really hard to find vulnerabilities when the browser doesn't even work and they keep changing the playing field.
At least Firefox can be altered to become what you want it to be because Firefox respect's a users software freedom. Far more important than vagaries like "fast" and "not bloated" is how a program treats its users. Proprietary browsers leave users no opportunity for improving the program. Thus security issues in proprietary programs go unfixed and are exploited for years. This, in turn, allows others to invade people's computers and leaves users helpless. This is exactly what happened with Apple's iTunes for over 3 years. I would not be surprised to learn that software proprietors including Microsoft, Google, and Apple are doing similar things with proprietary web browser programs as well.
So while I like trustworthy programs like other computer users, I know that I can't ascertain the trustworthiness of proprietary programs like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Apple's Safari, and Google's Chrome. The extent to which any of them are built from software that respects my software freedom is irrelevant because proprietary programs and their updates are essentially black boxes. I can't possibly inspect or fix all of the software I use, but I can put myself in a position where I stand to benefit from the improvements a lot of programmers make by exclusively running software that respects my freedom to run, inspect, share, and modify—free software—freedoms I value in their own right.

Yes. Flash has run in a separate process for 5-6 years now IIRC. When Flash crashes, it doesn't take down Firefox, it just displays a block say that Flash crashed, and I believe it gives you a report link.
"Imagine if a prophet included a page of maths leading up to e=m*c*c or the chemical formula of a cancer cure (although I don't see why a god would invent cancer and then want the cure to be known) or maybe even a work of art that is so inspirational that people are struck with awe?"
That would be the Gzilt Book of Truth, the origin of which is a key part of the plot of Banks' The Hydrogen Sonata.
your firefox is faster cause its cached. The apps you don't use often aint...
Or you could use Chromium
Fortunately you can kill the plugin process to reanimate the browser one. The time when flash really crashes it can take the whole OS with it. Years ago, the only cure was to disable C1e halt state for my the-then system, or give up even the most basic hardware acceleration.
Chrome is just Safari's webkit with slower DOM and more marketing budget...
Interesting, though I've been using DoNotTrackMe which is faster than Ghostery and isn't joined at the hip to the ad industry.
Every can be broken into and some asshole can do arbitrary things on a users machine because...
And on top of those two things there is the ever changing HTML specification, the ever changing CSS specification, and the bit of garbage called DOM.
And cracked by a "carefully constructed URL?!? What!?!?! Can these people simply not write a safe URL parser? I mean WTF?!?!?!?!
TBL dame up with the idea that was essentially Anonymous FTP and a bit of code that used a simple set of tags to format text so it displayed like the author intended it to be seen was pretty cool. Then came the committees with "Wouldn't that be cool" ideas and they implemented them with no regard for the implications.
The whole bloody mess in one huge kludge of hideously bad code, bad definitions, and bad implementations of pure garbage designed by a circle jerk.
We have waited for years for them to clean this fucking mess up and what have we gotten:
It is time for the madness to stop. Lets start over and make it correct this time.
Hey KID! Yeah you, get the fuck off my lawn!
Yes, and even the Gzilt suspected that their religion might be contrived when they met up with other intergalactic species. Having a holy book that imparts top quality information is a lot more difficult to dismiss than a book filled with vague stories.

"Anecdotes are not data" I know, but...
My personal experience with Firefox on the Mac is mostly that after a while, it starts to respond slowly and on occasion lock up for a few minutes, presumably related to paging. Restarting FF clears it up for an arbitrary amount of time.
Look into Pale Moon, it might be the repackaging of FF that you're looking for. I use it on my home PC and I've got to say I love it.
I've tried to like Firefox. I even switched to it for a couple of months but the thing that really annoyed me about it was the syncing of bookmarks / plugins / other stuff between machines. I use browsers on my desktop PC, laptop, mobile phone and tablet. With Chrome I have them all synced and they all work perfectly. With Firefox on the other hand I'd have them syncing perfectly for a week or so and then one of the devices would suddenly stop syncing for one reason or another and I could never work out why. I'd have to disable the whole sync configuration on the device in question and then reconfigure it again. What a time wasting exercise.
I do rather still using firefox than exposing myself with possible backdoors on close-sourced browsers.
