Security issues - browsers

Are you concerned about security risks, tracking cookies, spyware, pop-ups, and the like. If so it may be worthwhile to consider making your law firm's browser Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer. Virtually all experts agree this browser poses far fewer security risks since all hackers tend to concentrate on IE since it has over 90% market share.

I would imagine that this might be especially attractive to smaller law firms that might not have the time or expertise to continually scour the web for security patches and updates which need to be applied.

There is an article on TechWeb today which discusses this topic and trend. It is located here.... http://www.techweb.com/wire/ebiz/51202493
