Looks like there will be no Firefox on Pwn2Own 2016 as it is "to easy to break", of course mainstream sites already write about: "danger Firefox", seems to be a bad time for Firefox. It is all about implementation: e10s, sandbox etc. from other side this can, again, shrink FX user
What do You think guys?
It is not against FX, as it is my main and beloved browser, also no place for "war" just discussion, I hope...

IMO, Mozilla isn't "paying to play" that game - so Firefox was left out of the festivities.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

Re: Pwn2Own 2016 without Firefox
Well, I am not a programmer but when I read that article the only thought I had was that Firefox is so vulnerable it is too easy to hack it [I guess it would be better to say " Firefox was so vulnerable it was too easy to hack it"? ]. Also,

They could try to hack Nightly/dev, which has multiprocess now.
But still not properly sandboxed yet.
I thought sandboxing was disabled on all platforms?It is on Windows and Mac OS X.
Sorry for my poor English.
