Mozilla Disables WebSockets in Firefox 4 Over Security Concerns
Quote:
Officials at Mozilla have decided to disable support for Web Sockets in future versions of Firefox because of concerns over the security of the the current version of the protocol.The group said that demonstrations of serious attacks against WebSockets have spurred the move.
Mozilla said that they plan to keep the WebSockets code in the Firefox 4 development tree, which is in beta right now, so that they have the ability to enable it again if the security concerns are cleared up in the future.
