Oh man!
"What this article is about however is security flaws in Firefox being patched."

Surely other browsers are relevant to mention. That's because nothing exists in itself. EVERYTHING in this world exists in a web of relationships. Is it incorrect when talking about slavery and oppression of blacks to mention that it was mostly white people that were inflicting the malice? Surely if an article is about an IE exploit via ActiveX, it would not be out of place to bring up Firefox and mention that this vulnerability does not exist in it, as it doesn't contain that "technology".
As for FF and its "security woes": all software has flaws. But it is the seriousness of intention that the developers show in getting it fixed, and their honesty about it that keeps us FF dudes devoted. FF vul. reported, fixed not even a week later. There are STILL vulnerabilities in IE dating back YEARS which haven't been patched!!! That is LUDICROUS!!!

"It's kind of the my dad is bigger then your dad thing kids do."

Well, while your dad bested my dad in that barfight, my dad was able to do serious work on your MOM!!! BAM!!!
Just kidding broham. At ease. You can put the sword and shield away..;-)
