Apparently, Firefox's Vietnamese component of the language pack was spreading some "malicious code" for the last 2 months.

Firefox. For a safer web. Still in Vietnam Syndrome.

Looks like it's been fixed already. In truth, when there are critical flaws in software, it seems that open source projects get the fixes out faster than the commercial vendors.

Thats why commercial vendors take so long to fix:
Because they have to receive all the calls they receive about the bad program.

Firefox kicks IE in most areas. IE has the advantage of commercial web applications being designed first and foremost for it. While for fun Firefox is better.

Fun = Firefox
Industry = IE

Isn't diagnosing the flaw a part of the "fixing" process?

Any end user can see a flaw. It takes a fair amount of work to figure out root cause analysis. Some of it gets very complex fairly quick and the techniques to resolve these issues range of gut and experience, to K-T analysis.

Well, my question still stands. It took 2 months to spot a malicious code of a program which is famous for and promoted through its security awareness.
