Can Mozilla be made more secure?
Window Snyder has the somewhat offbeat title of "chief security something-or-other" at Mozilla, where she is responsible for overseeing efforts to boost the security of the company's open-source offerings, including the Firefox browser.

In an interview, Snyder talked about the state of browser security today and how companies must work together.
