Thought, IE is as secure as FF overall; the only difference is that Internet Explorer is still most used, so most hacked, and so most unsecure.

Refer to report of october 2005 by some antivirus company, who did investigation to it, and concluded that FF had also quite a lot potentional leaks.

So, I don't submit my vote Smile

May be there is less exploit on firefox only because it's still less user on FF than IE. What if the popularity of FF still increasing, maybe the exploit will increase with. I'm personnaly user of firefox, because I'm a big fan of open source.But is difficult to be so sure of the security of firefox.

I wish to firefox the way to become number one and definitively win in the browser war.

No, no. It doesn't work that way. If you have no idea, you just keep quiet and watch the others giving advice. And you don't reply to the thread. That's the way it works. Rolling Eyes

You're right the popularity is a determining factor but Firefox is a lot more serious in keeping your information private than IE.
