The German government issued a warning yesterday telling people not to use Firefox because of a critical vulnerability. The vulnerability has been fixed with version 3.6.2 but the larger question remains, isn’t it a bit odd to have your government playing browser police? Will they tell you not to use Firefox every time there is a vulnerability?
BürgerCERT, part of the German Federal Office for Security in Information Technology, is advising users to stop using Firefox until Mozilla can push a patch out to users to fix the vulnerability that it contains which could be exploited by hackers to run malicious code on users’ computers.
