Firefux Vulnerabilities

Just a few weeks ago Mozilla Firefux blocked the execution of all versions of Flash because of Flash vulnerabilities, today in the Qualsys Exploits Newsletter there are not one but two Firefox vulnerabilities, BOTH of which involve privilege elevation on Windows systems.

Yes I deliberately misspelled Firefox as my way of chastising them for their holier than thou attitude when their own security sucks.  I still prefer Firefox because they adhere to standards better than anyone else, but that last round of Flash blockage almost convinced me it was time to change browsers, but to what?  I’m not giving Google access to everything I do via Chrome and Opera has serious compatibility issues.

There are also four MORE Flash vulnerabilities, a couple of Adobe XML vulnerabilities, and a couple of Windows vulnerabilities.

Linux, is notably missing from the list of new exploits.
