Mozilla Postpone the release of Firefox 11

Mozilla on Monday announced it was postponing the release of Firefox 11, but changed the schedule by saying that the browser upgrade would go out on schedule. Yesterday, senior director of Firefox engineering, said Mozilla was delaying Firefox 11's launch to examine a bug unveiled at last week's Pwn2Own hacking contest and to give developers time to scrutinize Microsoft's security updates, set to release today at approximately 1 p.m. ET. On the last day of Pwn2Own, a two-man team exploited a Firefox vulnerability to take the contest's $30,000 second-place prize. ZDI, which sponsored the Pwn2Own hacking contest that ran March 7-9, reported vulnerabilities used at the event to vendors yesterday.
