Germany warns about Firefox

[jojo]

The German government has issued a warning about using the Firefox browser because of security issues.

The Federal Office for Information Security made a similar ruling on the safety of Internet Explorer in January.

The office warned that the Firefox vulnerability, confirmed by Firefox makers, could allow hackers to run malicious programs on users' computers.

If they have then they definately backed the wrong horse.

Chrome and Opera are not as good as FireFox, by a long way.

(Speaking as the guy who recently reviewed all of them. )
