Here is a page discussing various myths surrounding Firefox. "We have all seen these banners before or heard people say 'Firefox is faster, Firefox has lower requirements, Firefox is secure, Firefox defends me from all spyware, etc.' How misleading is it? Read on." Flame away. And be gentle. That's an order. And here's a rebuttal.

I don't even know why I try, because you are too thick headed to one read my entire comment, and two to have any common sense.
Taking advantage of an exploit is not the same as IE just allowing anyone to install arbitrary code without user interaction. What you all are saying is that IE just allows anyone to install any arbitrary code on the system w/o using an exploit, and this is simply not true. You all always state that IE allows ActiveX controls to install without any goahead from the user, and this is NOT true and has not been true forever.
WMF, unless I am mistaken, also has been patched. So by the same logic I can say that every OS allows arbitrary code execution without user interaction, as at some point, every OS has had a known remote exploit vulnerability (doesn't matter if it has actually been patched, according to your logic).
