Well..
"How LONG has this flaw been there to begin with?"

Apparently years, since it is a flaw from legacy Netscape code, no?

"Also, we are supposed to believe the drivel that Firefox is unbelievably, wonderfully, more secure than IE, yet 7 "highly severe" vs IE's 9 "highly severe" vulnerabilities most certainly does not instill the image of a secure browser at all."

Yes, but this is just recently. Try adding up ALL IE and Firefox flaws if you really want to see how things truly stack up. If we must go through this once again, it is not the existence of flaws, but rather how aware and concerned programmers are about flaws and how quickly they fix them.

"Then they try to spin it by saying things like: "The kinds of things the Microsoft's browser is vulnerable to is much more worrisome"."

The truth can't be spun.

"Oh, and zero virusses or spyware since I keep my system up to date."

WHATEVER! It is next to impossible to regularly use IE and not evertually get hit with spyware. I'd love to take a look at your machine. I GUARANTEE you that I'd find something, or many things which would make you cringe in naked terror.

"Sorry, FF failed it's test, and I think it would only get worse as it meets the real world."

"Real world"..and what world might this be? The one in which I've been USING Firefox for over a year, along with merely MILLIONS of others? Any LUZER that extols Microsoft in uniform drone fashion and automatically shuns and barks at any other technologies has lost the right to make reference to the "real world"..;-)
