mozilla Claiming that new . with firefox 95 When updated, its browser will be the most secure ever. Firefox 95 update adds a new sandboxing tool to make the browser safe from cyberattacks through malicious code. According to a report by Engadget, Mozilla has named the tool ‘RLBox’ and has started rolling out the tool as part of the Firefox 95 update for web and mobile browsers.
For the RLBox sandboxing tool, Mozilla has tied up with the University of California and the University of Texas. While sandboxing is also used by some other web browsers, it is not always effective to prevent more advanced exploits that can combine the two vulnerabilities to exceed browser security. “With RLBox, Firefox will compile a process into WebAssembly and then convert it to native code. According to Mozilla, this approach presents two significant advantages. This prevents code from jumping between different parts of the program and limits access to specific areas of your system’s memory.
Mozilla will use tools to isolate five components of Firefox and these include the browser’s Graphite font rendering engine and the Ogg multimedia module. However, the company noted that RLBox may not protect every component of the Firefox browser such as modules that depend on sharing memory with the rest of the program to function.
