Firefox more insecure than IE

Mozilla is a seperate browser.....firefox is developed by the mozzila group....it's NOT the mozzila browser....apart from the fact that firefox is a relative new
browser.....more bugs also don't have to be critical bugs....that story is not
objective. Firefox bugs are fixed faster than IE bugs.....and a lot more exploits
are available for IE browsers...... :2 cents:

It's only a matter of time before Firefox has as many, if not more exploits than IE.

I use an add on for IE (Netcaptor) and the only time I've ever had a browser/spyware problem in 10 years of internet use is when my cousin uses my computers. Firefox is for people who don't know how to manage their systems :winkwink:

firefox rules :thumbsup

That's like saying a Chevy is for people that don't know how to drive. - It doesn't make sense. :upsidedow

Anyway, to comment on the article. Looks to me like someone needed a filler piece for their quota. And threw on a controversial title. No where in the article does it state anything about IE or FF being more/less secure than the other.

The opening line alone leads one to believe it's saying mozilla is more vulnerable than microsoft. And then throws in a "but" to rebudle that statement.

The key points to the article.
So here we're left with jack in real information as to which one is more secure. It's just a filler article with no facts pointing in either direction.
