We've got two bits of good news, and one bit of bad news about Mozilla's Firefox web browser. Starting with the bad news - in 2008, Fiefox suffered from considerably more security holes than Internet Explorer and Safari. However, the first bit of good news is that Mozilla was much faster at patching zero-day exploits, according to a report by Secunia. The zero-day flaws of Firefox were also less severe than those of IE. The other bit of good news is that Firefox' upcoming Tracemonkey JavaScript engine is so good, the next Firefox release has been bumped from 3.1 to 3.5.

Yeah, I totally agree. And I'm sorry, you could throw all the numbers at me you wanted about how many security flaws were found, and blah blah blah, but it will be a cold day in hell when I actually FEEL or BELIEVE I am more secure browsing in IE than Firefox (or Opera, Safari, Chrome, Konqueror, ..., for that matter).
