Although the time to patch speaks about ...
... how efficient the patch process is it does not speak to how secure the browser is. It is the unknown or at least the unknown to the security experts flaws that are the real threat. The bad guys are unlikely to let on to a problem they are actively using for exploits. They remain unpatched until the security experts catch on. Don't get me wrong, the stat is very favorable for Firefox, I just don't think it says what they are trying to construe it as.
