Mozilla Hits Back at Browser Security Claim

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 20th Sep 2005 17:38 UTC

Mozilla has reacted to a Symantec report issued on Monday which said serious vulnerabilities were being found in Mozilla's browsers faster than in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The study was conducted over the first six months of 2005. Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, hit back by claiming on Monday that when a vulnerability is found Mozilla's "ability to react, find a solution and put it into the user's hands is better than Microsoft."

That doesn't mean much. Virtually any browser bug has a simple workaround: *use a different browser*. So statements like yours are a double-edged sword.

That is not always simple when it requires installing on 1000+ machines and making the users use it....
