Mozilla has released a new version of the Firefox Web browser with what is described as 'significant security and stability improvements'. Details on the security vulnerabilities being patched were not available April 13 when Firefox 1.5.0.2 was shipped as a high-priority update. However, a source told eWEEK that the most serious flaw could allow 'remote code execution' attacks. A Mozilla spokesperson said information on the security patches will be publicly released soon.

Actually I was referring to the links that prove it is faster and more secure. Last I tried Opera I found it limiting in the websites I could view in thier full splendor so to speak. As well I found it is no faster nor slower then Firefox. I guess I was looking for where the studies were done, and not just someone's opinion on it.

as for security, just check secunia.com for info.
Opera is by far the most secure browser for windows on the market.

Links to this please?
Try http://www.opera.com/download/
Run it for yourself and see. You may be surprised.
I've used Moz since the M17 days. Switched to Opera right before they removed the ads (at the time there was a special promotion where they were giving away activation codes). Haven't looked back. But that's my experience.
Try it for yourself and see.
