“Don’t use Firefox”, says German government

The German Federal Office for Information Security has recommended that users stop using Mozilla Firefox, less than 2 months after it also recommended not using Internet Explorer in January.

This recommendation from the German authorities came after a confirmed vulnerability was detected in Firefox.

What do I gather? If every government starts telling users to stop using every browser each time a vulnerability is discovered, I wont be surprised if one day they tell citizens to stop using the internet altogether!
