Does kind of show a trend
I'd say the trend shows that intelligent user are uing firefox while computer iliterate user use IE and are gulible enough to click anything. Just my opinion though.

Personally I've not had vulnerbilities in either browser exploited. I use Firefox because it's just be fuctionally than IE. If IE gets better than Firefox I'll switch back. Right now I see no reason to use a tired old browser that's some 6 years old in terms of functionality.

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

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
