NOPE the only way that would change is if Firefox had
the same market share and the exact same amount of
vulnerabilities or holes. What are the odds that two different
packages would share the same volume of holes. One being
built years ago without security being a priority (Microsoft's own
worlds...not mine here) and one being built with security as a
priority. So even if both browsers have the same market share
one would more than likely prove to be more secure..odd are.

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

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
