,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla's latest update to its open source Firefox browser includes
| security measures targeting phishers. Phishing scams that use
| social engineering techniques to dupe Web surfers into revealing
| personal financial information have become an effective way for
| cybercriminals to conduct their nefarious activities on the
| Internet.

| It was also a pretty big year for the release of Firefox 2,
| which coincided with the release cycle for Microsoft's
| Internet Explorer 7.

| Sure, Firefox is not directly affected by the Microsoft/Novell
| partnership, but Mozilla does have its own share of legal
| issues to deal with. This year, Mozilla decided to be more
| strict at enforcing its trademarks around Firefox, which
| incited a standoff with the Debian GNU Linux distribution
| and the IceWeasel fork of Firefox.
