Firefox Security Goes Head-To-Head With Microsoft IE7
Published March 23rd, 2007 in Browser Security, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7, Security
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser may have the lion’s share of the general market, but when it 
comes to security types, Mozilla’s Firefox open source browser is an even contender, according to a security survey released Monday. Security-minded people also were quicker to try out Internet Explorer version 7, researchers with the SANS Institute found, though it didn’t appear to sway Firefox fans, and the general public quickly is catching up in IE7 adoption.
"Security people are overall more aware of the flaws in Explorer and more likely to play with other browsers," says Johannes Ullrich, chief research officer at the SANS Institute and chief technology officer for the Internet Storm Center. "More common users might not feel comfortable trying out something new. Not as confident." Firefox Security Goes Head-To-Head With Microsoft’s IE7 - Technology News by InformationWeek
