Firefox Bugzilla Hack
Firefox (Mozilla) keeps a secret and supposedly secure list of potential vulnerabilities to their Firefox product so that they can work on getting them fixed. Mozilla has released information regarding a privileged users bugzilla password which was compromised and used by an attacker to gain access to the secret database.
The attacker has created at least one exploit using the stolen data, which has been patched. No one is sure if there are more, or if there will be more.
Caution is advised if you are using the Firefox browser.

I have always been a fan from Mozzilla Firefox, but since yesterday I have one jam after another, browser not reacting, and I am quite ready to step over to Google chome.
i think most of us have a favorite browser then change it over time due to a favorite add-on. None the less I try to view my sites via:
1. IE (I dont have windows 10 with the new ms browser)
2. Chrome
3. Firefox
4. Safari
5. Opera
To be honest the Browser I am scared of most is Opera as i had some security issues with it last year. Chrome does seem to be a resource hog sometimes but I keep 5 profiles on it for various projects.
Here is some more on the Bugzilla problem.
