Firefox vulnerabilities
The 'knight in shing armour' may well be just as vulnerable as other browsers, according to a newsletter today from Tech Republic.
Itis all a bit beyond me, but the concern apparently lies with all the 'extensions' and 'plug-ins' we happily install, and has something to do with QUOTE"Cross Site Scripting has significant consequences in extensions, especially when malicious code can be executed from the chrome:// zone" and the fact that QUOTE " the chrome:// zone where the extension’s code runs (chrome privileges are trusted by Firefox). Chrome privileges allow extensions to do basically anything with the OS by querying/interacting with Firefox core functionality provided by XPCOM libraries/interfaces."
If this means anything to anyone, ANY comments?
