Hi I am a long time user of firefox because i love its customization and tools available to help me with my work and personal life. Recently i have been ordered to remove Firefox from the company laptop as it was deemed insecure by the IT and security department. I have been told to use MS edge and Google's Chrome. Their reasoning is "An inconsistent comparator in xslt/txNodeSorter could have resulted in potentially exploitable out-of-bounds access. Only affected version 122 and later. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 136 and Firefox ESR < 128.8." I do not know what this means. Is there something i can tell my IT department to argue against the directive to only use either Edge or Chrome. Best regards, F Silva

What's funny is that Firefox again failed to restore my session which is why I make backups. see screenshot Now mark this as resolved and get back to work silly.  ;-))

What's more important, your job or the browser?!?!?!?! You're using their property, so let's not be silly! Will the browser pay your bills?!?!?! I use chrome at work and it has a few better features and restores the session better than Firefox. The tabs grouping is better and the option to name the windows is great.

I agree. I have already removed Firefox and have notified them after doing so. It is not worth my paycheck that supports my family. I had some tools and shortcuts on firefox to help speed my work but i have found alternatives in MS edge. It just feels sad after feeling comfortable with the tools i was using before.

You see the item number is only 3 in the folder with time stamp just now. Because the browser for some unknown reason deletes the content of the very folder that should be backing up the session. My backup from 2 weeks ago has more items in it.

Chrome/Chromium can be vulnerable to same things also. For example https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2025-19/ the CVE-2025-2783 shows Chrome/Chromium is vulnerable also.

Also when a server certificate is expired, the Firefox browser lets you know right away while Chrome/Chromium may not tell you right away or soon. So I consider Firefox to be more secure in that sense also.
