Firefox a threat to security products security?

by jdclyde . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

I have been reading several reviews lately discussing FireFox and security.

The most recent was by Andy Dornan of http://wires.ITarchitect.com, with that article titled “No one ever caught spyware from Firefox”.

The main point is it seems to be the security VENDORS that are having an issue here because it has the ability to reduce the NEED for so much of IT’s spending on security with not using the intigrated, ActiveX using MicroSoft Internet Explorer.

Do you think we are getting a straight feed on the security and stability of alternative browsers from companies that have a vested interest in you NOT switching to a secure browser?
