This sounds more like a fault of Java/User ignorance or carelessness than it does Mozilla if you ask me. I don't see why Java is still in active development. From the perspective of a web developer and a net surfer, its a waste. Eats ram, slow as hell, doesn't perform any real task that can't be accomplished without it (and it can usually be accomplished FASTER without Java). And then there's all the JRE's and crap that take up disk space. Such a waste. NoScript, Adblock, and the All-in-One Sidebar are definitely the best FFox Extensions out there. (Ffox Extension Backup and IeTab also deserve mention). NoScript is a bit of pain to set up at first, but after you've established a decent "whitelist" It's painless :) Fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.10:
“MFSA 2007-37 jar: URI scheme XSS hazard”

Also, I don't see what the big debate is. All programs will have security holes at some point. All Firefox has to do is to work on having the best browser out there!

It’s both a boon as well as a bane for Mozilla. By being OpenSource its got a huge population of developers who are ready to fix anything that pops up, but at the same time not the safest code is produced during development." So Open Source software is less secure? I starting to seriously question this blog as this is a statement of pure stupidity. Karthik Kastury said “The problem with Firefox is that is Open Source.

Since the hijacking of the Browser market, developers have been required to implement stupid ill-conceived functionality in the name of compatibility. Microsoft has been a leader in the same manner as George Bush. There's just no distinguishing them from the enemy.
