Safari 3.1 已于3月19日正式发布了，随后，苹果通过其iTunes平台向用户推送了这一版本。Mozilla CEO对此颇有微词，他说苹果这么做是错误的，它破坏了用户对于大公司的信任关系，不仅仅对于苹果，而是整个网络都是如此。作为软件制造商，它们应该竭力为用户提供安全软件，且能够快速响应。苹果此举有些不负责任，尤其是针对Windows用户，它们可能没有请求或者并不需要Safari。原话如下：

"What Apple is doing now with their Apple Software Update on Windows is wrong. It undermines the trust relationship great companies have with their customers, and that's bad - not just for Apple, but for the security of the whole Web, As a software maker we promise to do our very best to keep users safe and will provide the quickest updates possible, with absolutely no other agenda …. Apple has made it incredibly easy - the default, even - for users to install ride along software (Safari) that they didn't ask for, and maybe didn't want. This is wrong, and borders on malware distribution practices."
