Why isn't the Firefox code signed?

I'm having a look @ Firefox and have noticed that the code is not signed and therefore it's theoretically possible for a trojan to have been inserted in it.

    RMS, you totally missed the point for "signed" code.

    yeah, RMS (you are not the RMS, are you?). you and I know exactly that once Firefox has the userbase IE has now, it will no longer be 'more secure' than IE.

    I'll follow Claude's sugggestion of posting to MozillaZine.

    The aim of this post was to find out WHY the code wasn't signed. I was not aiming for an IE versus Firefox argument. IE's clearly had security vulnerabilities, Firefox is new and hasn't had any.

    Thanks for all of the feedback.

    The Mozilla Firefox browser comes pre-loaded with spyware, but their users are just too clever for them:http://www.cebit.de/newsanzeige_e.html?multi=1&back=/homepage_e&news=11982&back=%2Fhomepage_e&x=1
