Firefox security questioned again as another exploit surfaces
It's only been a couple days since the Firefox 3.5.1 update was released to address a critical vulnerability in the Javascript JIT compiler and there's already a new exploit causing quite a ruckus. You can actually hear the chuckles coming from Redmond if you listen closely.
It would be unreasonable to assume that the first patch for Firefox 3.5 would make it bulletproof. Still, after the long delays that proceeded its release the rapid discovery of two such vulnerabilities is a bit surprising. Past releases of the browser have had their share of security issues as well, but as Firefox becomes more popular its security shortcomings are going to be much more publicly exhibited.
It's interesting to note that Secunia has still yet to post a single exploit for Chrome 3. If you're security minded, now might be a good time to take it for a test drive.
