Mozilla launched a service to check plug-in versions in Opera, Chrome, Safari, IE browsers.


Yesterday, Mozilla launched a tool that will now allow users and competing browsers, including Internet Explorer (IE), Chrome, Safari and Opera, to find out if the add-ons and plug-ins installed in them are vulnerable. Previously, the service worked only for the Firefox browser.

The tool was supposed to be updated in March, but Mozilla postponed the release to expand the list of checked plugins.

Microsoft browsers support is limited to versions of IE7 and IE8, and the list of checks for these browsers is less than for the rest. “Since IE requires you to write a separate code for each plugin, it will take us longer to expand the list of scanned plugins,” said Jonathan Nightingale, head of the Firefox development department, in the Mozilla security blog .

(I recommend to open it in a new tab, in some browsers the tool fills in the conversion history when it is working)

Keep your browsers and plugins up to date!
