Last month's Brown Orifice program opened a backdoor to an insecure future. Can open source save the day?

Is the combination or the individual code itself to blame? 2000-09-06

There is a fair chance that Mozilla will be even worse -

after all, it allows you to download "skins" that rewire

the buttons in your browser's user interface. "XUL" is

indeed a very dangerous "geek toy".

(And with the browers's UI depending on JavaScript, I

do wonder if it will be possible any more to -securely-

turn JavaScript off...)
