"As security bugs swarm around the Firefox browser, volunteer marketers want to shore up the open-source project's security message," reports CNet.
With Monday's reports of the Mozilla Foundation's patches for significant new security holes that could let attackers install malicious code or steal personal data, Firefox partisans are finally acknowledging that the core sales pitch for their browser may be vulnerable.
"The versions of Firefox up to version 1.0.3 have had terrible security risks," wrote one participant for the volunteer Firefox promotion, Spread Firefox. "I think these security risks have undermined the promise of Firefox as a more secure browser."
"The Mozillazine discussion is one of many that have sprung up on Slashdot and other forums after recent columns in InformationWeek and in the IT Observer questioned Mozilla's security superiority," says the article.
