Privacy, Security, Encryption "Is Browser Security getting better? That is tough to say but Firefox is definitely not leading the way. Despite all the hype, despite all the Myths, Firefox 1.x has a worse security record so far in 2006 than Internet Explorer 6.x."

Firefox Version used by Andrew

It seems interesting that nobody has yet mentioned it, but Andrew is referencing Firefox 1.5.0.5 in his comparison. Current version is 1.5.0.6 and that was out before his blog.

And for those that don't think a minor version does much, check the vulnerability count he gives for 1.5.0.2 and 1.5.0.4. That's a difference of 17 problems.
