Microsoft: Nothing to gain from Firefox flaws | |

Microsoft claims it has not gained anything from the recent spate of security flaws that have been discovered in Firefox, even though the open-source browser is a rising rival to the software giant's Internet Explorer. Peter Watson, chief security advisor at Microsoft Australia and New Zealand, told ZDNet Australia that the software maker did not get any pleasure from seeing Firefox suffer a string of security vulnerabilities, despite the open-source browser's growth seemingly being stunted over recent months. "I don't think it creates any benefit for us or anybody in the ecosystem to turn around and say, 'it's good that this company has a whole load of security vulnerabilities'," said Watson. | ||

| Nothing cheap about it. Firefox's boatload of security problems has stopped its growth dead. And they deserve it for trying to con people into thinking it had the magic answer to browser security. They should take a year or two off and get rid of all the junk Netscape code from 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. |
