I was fascinated by the link[1] in this line "As a result, instead of being hostile to fuzzing, Firefox developers actively help me fuzz their code."

It almost reads like a parody, but it's clearly quite serious; a detailed, thoughtful discussion of how you can ensure your continued ability to ship buggy products. (I know, that's not how the authors see it. But I know which philosophy I hope the people developing the software I have to use have, and it looks a lot more like Firefox than RIM.)

And in the meantime:

    Over the last 11 years, these fuzzers have found 6450 Firefox bugs,
    including 790 bugs that were rated as security-critical.
