Reports are coming in that the Mozilla Foundation has warned browser users that its popular Firefox web browser contains a root certificate authority that doesn't seem to have a known owner.
This issue, says Fortify Software, highlights the fact that open source software must be tested for security vulnerabilities - and fixed -- before it is used in any business.
According to Richard Kirk, European director with the application vulnerability specialist, whilst this tilts the balance in favour of Microsoft's Explorer, there are also known security issues with that web browser as well.
