Mozilla Foundation developing a model for a security metric

The Mozilla Foundation plans to develop a better model for gauging the security of its Firefox web browser. In contrast to Microsoft, the number of officially provided security updates is not to be the sole parameter used. According to the method in which Microsoft measures security, an absence of patches would equate to a high degree of security. The Microsoft approach is further illustrated by its claim that Vista is still more secure than other operating systems. In contrast to this approach, the Mozilla Foundation wants its evaluation to include a variety of factors involved in the development process and the techniques and tools used in it. The sequence of the process from the time a security vulnerability is reported until a patch is distributed is also to be analysed.

Vulnerability in Firefox and other Mozilla programs

Bonn - Several security holes have been discovered in Firefox and other software from Mozilla. The Thunderbird e-mail program and the Seamonkey program suite have also been affected. Users should update their software as soon as possible once patches become available, recommends the German Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology (BSI) in Bonn. The warning applies to Firefox versions prior to 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1 as well as to Seamonkey. In the latter case, any version prior to 1.1.11 is vulnerable to hacker attacks. Those who do not receive automated updates can download them manually at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox or http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases.

Mozilla Pitches Firefox 3.1 Alpha For July Release

An anonymous reader writes "Just a week after Mozilla shipped Firefox 3.0, the open-source developer has proposed ship dates for the next version that, if approved, would produce an alpha release next month and a final no later than early 2009. According to a draft schedule discussed at a recent meeting, Mozilla wants to have the first Firefox 3.1 developer preview ready by July, then move to a beta by August. The schedule slates final code delivery in the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2009. A month ago, when Mozilla first started discussing Firefox 3.1 internally, Mike Schroepfer, the company's vice president of engineering, said the upgrade's target ship date was the end of 2008. If Mozilla holds to that plan, Firefox 3.
