Mozilla browsers unsafe for 15% of 2004
Net4Nowt :: News Story
This is a bit of a false headline. What the statistics of ScanIT show is that Mozilla browsers spent about 15% of the year affected by an unpatched security flaw. To put this in perspective, Internet Explorer was affected by an unpatched security flaw for 98% of the year. Moreover, Mozilla browsers also had the shortest "exposure period" when a patch for known vulnerabilities were unavailable. So, can anyone explain why you wouldn't want to switch to Mozilla's Firefox?
