Firefox turns 1

Filed under: — Posted on 2004.11.09 @ 22:23

Firefox 1.0 has been released, and just in time for yet another flavour of MyDoom to be released, taking advantage of yet another IE hole. CNet reports the spread may not be as bad as it could be; apparently the authors didn’t take full advantage of the flaw.

With its growth in popularity, Firefox is sure to attract more attention from those writing worms. Interesting times are ahead as we see how well the open source community’s theory of “many eyes” reducing bugs survives.
