5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
In a newly issued Firefox update, version 2.0.0.5, which can be downloaded now, there is a fix that prevents Firefox and Thunderbird from accepting bad data. However, the atch doesn't fix the hole in Internet Explorer, which can still call other Windows applications, which in turn can be manipulated to execute malicious code. So what's the solution, according to Mozilla? No prizes for guessing: only browse the web with Firefox. The latest security blowup can only add to Microsoft's woes in the browser space. Recent reports show that the take-up of Internet Explorer 7 has been slow and all versions of the once dominant IE are losing market share to Firefox pretty much everywhere, but especially in Europe where Firefox now has about one third of the market. |
