"Mozilla is having a nightmarish security week. The company released a security-fix version of its Thunderbird email client late yesterday after updating its Firefox browser, a Firefox Google toolbar extension, and its SeaMonkey web application suite - all within the last six days. The new Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 replaces 1.5.0.10."

Maybe, but without going into the specifics of my set up, any security breach (short of a professional hacker manually accessing my system) would have been at least reported at some point (even if it's just from the hardware proxy reporting on the packets sent/recieved).

I know that I've been bitten on IE in the past. Back then firefox's market share was too low to be a target, so IE was targeted, but with firefox sitting at ~20% I would think that someone would have crafted a successful attack by now.
I've had a few attacks when visiting website of an adult nature *coughs*. I believe the majorety of them were down to JPEGs with malicious code built into them.
Avast AV protected me on each and every occation though.
