"Over the last few days I've seen several stories around the release of the Firefox 1.0.3 update with ridiculous headlines like "Firefox Comes Under Attack", "Firefox Singed By Security Holes", and "Security Holes Bite Firefox". I understand that sensational sells, and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news for all of the lazy journalists out there, but Firefox wasn't hit, or attacked, or bitten, or singed, by anything…So, what should these headlines have read? Well, how about "Firefox Project Attracts More Security Experts" or "Firefox Security Community Grows" :-)
