Considering they've had more vulnerabilities then IE pop up for the last year I really haven't considered them perfect =S

Except Firefox fixes their problems really quick. Have we heard anything about that IE/XP vulnerability fix?

Being patched as we speak.

The main keyword in the vulnerability is XP as soon as we get rid of that insecure POS we'll be doing alright.

Drive by viruses are non existant for Vista and malware doesn't make it through UAC unless approved.

I wasn't trying to bag on Fx but calling them perfect is a bit much.

The reason there's a few more vulerabilities is that it's a new build. They just need to iron out the bugs, then it will be as secure as it was before. Still, i've been using Chrome recently. Not because of this, i just felt like it.

I completely agree. It's software and works with web applications, so there are two reasons for vulnerabilities. No software is perfect, but the project teams try.

The update came out today (if it didn't autoupdate hit tools > help > search for update). That was fast. ohmy.gif

This doesn't bother me tbh, all browsers suffer from vulnerabilities and the fix for it has been issued very fast, so good work Mozilla team smile.gif
