Nassim, You can see the security features of Firefox 3.6 here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/security/ The Mozilla Developer Center has Firefox security information here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Security The Mozilla Security team has a blog with information here: http://blog.mozilla.com/security/ Other key blogs would be from Mozilla's Sid Stamm and Lucas Adamski who are on the Security team: http://blog.sidstamm.com/ http://blog.mozilla.com/ladamski/ I hope this is helpful.
