Firefox 3 security compromised

Somebody has already reported a serious security flaw with Mozilla's latest version of Firefox that was released and downloaded by millions of users last week.

The security flaw was reported to TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative and Mozilla has been informed of the details, so we will no doubt see a fix for the problem in the next Firefox 3 update.

Security Flaw = Huge Flaw

strotee6578d ago

it only comes with the territory, (more people who use the software = more opportunities for holes to be found). the important thing is how fast it gets patched. mozilla has always been quick to plug holes, this will be moot in no time.

bottom line: software will ALWAYS need to be updated, period. no need to get all melodramatic.

If you are using Windows anything is possible. I made the switch to Mac OS X and everything is fine so far.

facepalm

Windows is an operating system. Firefox is a browser. The security problem has nothing to do with what operating system Firefox is running on.

This internet fad will end... dust off your typewriters boys!

It get a security flaw pointed on it's first day out. Was a known Firefox 2 flaw, that some people was aware and tested out on Firefox 3 just to learn it still there, they reported it only to Mozilla and Mozilla theirselfs told they get it and will work on it but will not disclose what was before solving it. As usual...

As opposed to IE that comes with security flaws bundled in as features. ;)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit58d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing58d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9258d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
