  Mozilla admits Firefox is flawed just like IE
Time: 00:09 EST/05:09 GMT | News Source: WinBeta | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In a public mea culpa, Mozilla Corp.'s chief security officer acknowledged today that Firefox includes the same flaw that the company called a "critical vulnerability" in Internet Explorer during a two-week ruckus over responsibility for a Windows zero-day bug.

"Over the weekend, we learned about a new scenario that identifies ways that Firefox could also be used as the entry point," said Window Snyder of Mozilla. "While browsing with Firefox, a specially crafted URL could potentially be used to send bad data to another application.

"We thought this was just a problem with IE," Synder continued. "It turns out, it is a problem with Firefox as well."
