Hmm, I recall that the FireFox Web Site Was Hacked ...
But they get a free ride, since they weren't running FireFox on it, just Apache. And I recall this story:

http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7083

where the FireFox Extension API was shown to have a hole big enough to drive a truck through. But the Mozilla developers get a pass since they're just hobbyists, too.

And twenty years ago (referring to your other post) I suppose that Microsoft was responsible for not building security into DOS.

You are crazed, and I may have to retract that bright part ... you're just a good typist.
