Malware As Firefox Extensions
One of the first things many people do to try and avoid security problems on Windows is to switch users to Firefox. It's true that Internet Explorer is a big fat target and probably the exclusive target of most browser-oriented malware, but that's not the whole story. Much drive-by malware works the same in any browser, relying as it does on social engineering and pushing EXEs and PDFs. Now it seems, according to Symantec, that malware specifically targeting Firefox is on the rise.
