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.

They should care about their own software instead of writing such useless and faked reports!
Not the amount of disclosed bugs is important!
its the time until patch and the potential risk!
And as anybody can see here

FF has less highly or extremely critical bugs AND they are fixed in 24hours mostly. And take a look at IE: unfixed Bugs since 2002!
One more point: IE 6 is several years old and no new features were applied. FF 1.x ist just some months old and gets new features frequently!
So, even if there were just two bugs in IE for the last 6 months, its one too much depending on its age!
It is true, that FF or even other products are NOT secure, just because they are open source; but everyone should have known this before...
