- tadfisher 5y agoAre you saying switching to static binaries would help because... they are harder to patch? If I'm not mistaken, Debian and most Linux distros build Firefox from source. In this instance, if Firefox was only available as a statically-compiled binary, it would still be vulnerable to the issue Debian was patching!
