A Bad Month for Firefox

marty writes "Februrary is not a good month for Mozilla developers. Infoworld reports about the efforts of Polish researcher Michael Zalewski, who apparently kept finding new vulnerabilities in the popular browser on a daily basis through the month, first postponing the 2.0.0.2 update, and then finding a remotely exploitable flaw in it immediately after its release."

Solution: Stick with IE. Shoudda known.

Bottom line - the more people use Firefox, the more people look for bugs and vulnerabilities, the more people find them. The same thing happened with IE.

But, how can that be ? We are constantly being told marketshare is irrelevant !

I bet...

I bet if Lcamtuf heard he's being called a 'researcher' he'd be rolling in his grave.
After dropping dead on place, that is.

You're also missing the annoying UI design and worse performance.

I don't use lynx, ever. I use links.

Oh I know, I know, it's bloated, it has features 99% of users never use, but darn it, I'm one of those 1% of users and I need my full-featured curses-enabled links console browser! Point-and-click, baby! ;)

Ruh-roh!

Is Scobby Doo writing the posts these days? What's "Februrary?" The month after "Janrurary?" Right before "Marrrrrch?"
