What kind of double-speak is this?
"The attack on SpreadFirefox.com was an embarrassment to the Mozilla Foundation, which uses security as a main selling point for the browser."
It was an attack on the server which hosts the site for promoting the browser. Nothing in the browser was used / could be used to access the internals of the site server.
It has not a thing to do with security of the Firefox / Mozilla browser, not a single relationship can be found that might suggest, as you have, that Firefox / Mozilla browser security has been compromised again. so why did you follow that path at the end of that sentence?
Please don't write FUD and hope to get away with it when with a little more research the article you're writing can be much more effective and focussed. You can do better.
