FireFox tells you there faults so you can take counter measures. IE does not.

FireFox is still safer.

Counter measures options where also built in by default. Just had to disable the installer until the next version.

Complex explots are even posible on Internet Explorer I love rebooting windows machines by Internet Explorers javascript flaw.
