Examining Defects in the Firefox Code Base

Published by

Using Klocwork?s K7 static analysis tool, I examined the large and complicated code base of the popular open source browser, Firefox.

Overall it is clear that Firefox is a very well written and high quality piece of software. Several builds were performed on the code, culminating in the final analysis of version 1.5.0.6. The analysis resulted in 655 defects and 71 potential security vulnerabilities.
