Firefox just starting to receive attention... (Score:2)

Whilst firefox is an improvement, it's still got problems of its own. Have a look at this demo [nd.edu] for a good example.

  Yes it's true. On the plus side though I believe that updates come out more timely for firefox, and are less painful to install due to not requiring a reboot. And I have more faith that firefox will become more secure than I have in IE, but YMMV.

    I agree totally, I was more trying to point out that with eyes focussed upon it, firefox will probably have a lot more security incidents as time goes on. I think it's still overall a safer bet than MSIE, but it's disingenious to suggest that it's a security panacea.
