Firefox has lots of security holes.

Its nice to browse through the forums here and see how many peole are constantly switching to Firefox.  They are saying that firefox is alot more secure than IE and that its rather stupid to use IE. I have news for you all, YOUR WRONG.

Firefox does have its uses, but to tell people to stiwtch over to it becasue of its great security is one of the dumbest things that i have ever heard. Read the article guys, there are 21 holes in firefox while there are only 13 currently in IE. Fire fox is not the most secure borwser around.

Its also nice to see how many people say that if you use IE, you will have your computer bloated with spyware, another lie.  I use IE and guess how much spyware I have, NONE. Any competant user of a computer knows that if you actually watch what you install, then you wont get this crap on your system.

Now I'm not trying to bash Firefox here, i use both Firefox and IE. I just want to see people starting to get some of thier facts strait before they start telling people which is the best. Its all a matter of personal preference, none is really better than the others. And ALL BROWSERS HAVE SECURITY HOLES. Firefox is not excluded from that list.

They have. Had time that is. After they beat Netscape off by buying someone else's browser and bundling it with Windows they promptly abandoned development of IE. They care about their customers *THAT MUCH*.

Now they are scrambling to try to hack some features into IE to make it less godawful.

Here's a thought experiment: given what happened last time they won a browser war, what do you think would happen if they managed to beat Firefox back into obscurity? As a consumer, would this outcome be in your best interests?

Forget the idiots who accuse Firefox users of fanboyism. Do what it takes to ensure you get a browser that will continue to be good into the future, not just in the current version.
