Microsoft's Peter Torr Attacks Mozilla Firefox Security | |
|
||
| Time: 09:47 EST/14:47 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
A Microsoft Program Manager by the name of Peter Torr has posted a weblog entry about potential problems with security in Mozilla Firefox. Specifically, he singles out the fact that neither the Firefox installer nor most of the available extensions are digitally signed. By contrast, he notes, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 2 will not install unsigned ActiveX by default. While many will immediately cry, "FUD!", he's actually right. Though the infrastructure is there, the lack of code signing in the vast majority of Firefox extensions has led to an environment in which many users simply install extensions without really knowing if they can trust the people behind them. | ||
