Considering there has yet to be reported breaches..
..of Firefox, I think anyone that harps all over it should be shot. It's too funny that Microsoft, the worl'd largest software maker, is treated like a wounded little lamb in need of nurturing, kid gloves, and momma's protection with its IE, and Firefox is free software written by random developers, has yet to experience security breaches, and is utterly lambasted just as it gets out the door.

""The versions of Firefox up to version 1.0.3 have had terrible security risks," wrote one participant for the volunteer Firefox promotion, Spread Firefox."

Yeah, NONE of which have been exploited..so weird..

These people lost me: Mozilla released a mere two patches recently and suddenly we're supposed to believe that the whole browser sucks. Can you imagine if this same level of harsh scrutiny were applied to Microsoft's poor wittle lamb, IE?..

What does popularity have to do with it?  tic swayback | 04/19/05
There's more people using it...  ye | 04/19/05
You should say, more users would increase the value of exploiting it.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
Safe  richhayes | 04/20/05
How does that follow?  tic swayback | 04/20/05

Interesting how the same people  Hugh Jass | 04/19/05
Really?  NonZealot | 04/19/05
Actually, I was speaking in general  Hugh Jass | 04/19/05
I put my trust in Firefox, but let's not minimize the vulnerabilities.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
It's STILL Safer than IE  BitTwiddler | 04/19/05
That would change...  ye | 04/19/05
I doubt it, take Apache for instance.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
As soon as you say 'Apache',  Hugh Jass | 04/19/05
Actually, no, you are wrong  NonZealot | 04/19/05

Im nitpicky  icorson1 | 04/19/05
IE and FF the same  michael-t | 04/19/05
The fact you can not ignore is that Firefox users have been more secure.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
Secunia shows Firefox is far more secure  jezlinux | 04/19/05
Again  IT Scion | 04/19/05
huh?  CobraA1 | 04/19/05
Actually  IT Scion | 04/20/05
In the end, Firefox wins  NonZealot | 04/19/05
But only because of the numbers.  jimk_z | 04/19/05
