Mozilla's popularity stressing its security image

The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser successfully took market share away from software giant Microsoft's Internet Explorer over the past 18 months, but has found that popularity comes with growing pains.

It not the number of faults found.

This is not a issue is out standing.

You would think with the number of bugs that have hit poor old firefox that it would have a lot of out standing.

IE still has a far higher out standing fault list.

Yes Firefox has had a few slip down into the list. The new version has removed most that have sliped past.

When the fault is removed it does not really count any more since firefox users do update.

Firefox has just proved it can handle a mass bug breakout. The very thing microsoft has been saying a open source project could never handle.

This should really be a wake up call. Microsoft you need to deal with your bugs better.
