Firefox more vulnerable than IE

By Thomas Henwood · September 20, 2005 ·

It seems, that Firefox is more vulnerable than IE, with 25 security flaws to IE’s 13. However, this means very little seeing as:
1. Hackers are more likely to target IE because it is more popular.
2. Flaws are fixed faster in Firefox.
3. Firefox is just so much better anyway!

So there you have it, why Firefox is more less secure and yet, still better than IE.

via- Digg (among others)

Update: Firefox 1.0.7 has now been released, which should make it more secure than IE again, for the time being.
