Not True at all

Firefox is under extreme fire as the new kid on the block and it touted its security as being number one. This tends to make it a target more than IE. Everyone is trying to make an exploit to get the credit. No one really cares about IE because there are already 100+ exploits for that. It is easier to use an already known vulnerability than to make a new one. And the popularity of IE is dwindling, as Firefox still on the up rise has taken about 35% of the market away from IE.

With FF2 now in alpha it will continue to dominate. FF2 is so COOL I am using now at alpha 3 with the phishing filter and document spell checker makes my life a lot easier It will correct my spelling as I type in these boxes no need to cut and past any more because I can't spell check as I type. I have to go back and look for typos and just that feature alone is worth its wait in gold, plus advanced handling of w3c css3 standard and SVG images that you can animate. You won?t be able to see those in IE.

here is list:
* Built in Anti-Phishing protection.
* Search suggestions now appear with search history in the search box for Google and Yahoo!
* Support for client-side session and persistent storage.
* Changes to tabbed browsing behavior
* Search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines
* Better support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds
* New microsummaries feature for bookmarks
* Inline spell checking in text boxes
* Automatic restoration of your browsing session if there is a crash
* New combined and improved Add-Ons manager for extensions and themes
* Extended search plugin format
* Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions
* Support for SVG text using svg:textPath

Please note: if there are spelling errors it is because I am using IE at the moment as it pops up from hotmail automatically. On of Microsoft?s little nasty games they play to make sure you use their browser. This is even with my default browser set to Firefox. This is another reason not to trust Micro corp. and the reason they spend most of their time in court "ANTI-TRUST". They do things on purpose to make sure they get more than their fair share of the market.
