Juju : New Firefox and Bug Hunt

New Firefox and Bug Hunt

Posted by Tony Buser Thu, 16 Sep 2004 14:51:56 GMT

I found it kinda funny that last month, the Mozilla Foundation started offering a bounty of $500 for every serious security bug found and the initiative was started with a $5,000 donation. Then on Tuesday they announce 10 security bugs which are now fixed by the latest versions. 10 x 500 = 5,000. Isn't it ironic, don't cha think? :)

As usual they were still patched a lot faster then some people and I must say, the latest version of Firefox kicks some major ass. The new find function bar is brilliant. The RSS integrated bookmarks are fantastic. (now every morning I can open all new slashdot stories in all tabs with two clicks) Awesome.
