Mozilla's popularity stressing its security image
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2005-09-21

The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser successfully took market share away from software giant Microsoft's Internet Explorer over the past 18 months, but has found that popularity comes with growing pains.

Yep, gotta agree that security probs usually come with popularity. I do believe Firefox is probably just as secure as Internet Explorer. Perfect software doesn't exist right now.

However, I'm still a Firefox user, because even with all these security issues I have not had any security problems (such as spyware, adware, viruses etc). However, i still get them if i use Internet Explorer. So security in Firefox doesn't affect me much, coz the issues aren't exploited enough to affect me.
