Is Security The Secret Of Firefox's Success?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's Firefox's reputation for superior security, rapid patching of security 
| holes and its multitude of browser extentions that has allowed it to win 
| converts among corporate and personal Web users  
| 
| [...]
| 
| But one of the most prominent reasons for outbreaks occurs through ActiveX 
| running on Internet Explorer. Malicious hackers use ActiveX as an opportunity 
| to exploit users. Realizing that, in 2006, Microsoft started providing more 
| safeguards in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 7 does do a better job of 
| protecting users against ActiveX outbreaks. But according to a security 
| report from research firm Secunia, there were more ActiveX outbreaks (366 
| total vulnerabilities) in 2008 than those that broke out in 2007. It was a 
| black eye for Microsoft.

Firefox 3.6 To Have Self-Profiling Extension

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.6, otherwise known as Firefox.next, is about to be released pretty
| soon.   And one of its most interesting feature would be a self-profiling web
| tool that will allow user to see their browsing habits profile.  The new
| Firefox feature which is tentatively known as about:me, will give relevant
| user information such as most visited sites, time of the day and days users
| navigate the web most, as well as how users access the site.

| branch the current Firefox 3.5 (Shiretoko) and proceed with the development
| of the next release in the trunk (Minefield).
