Let's see: daily exploits/vulnerabilities found to the tune of several thousand over the years vs. 55 over several years.

I think I'll go with the 55.

I switched to Firefox and my web surfing has never been faster, the daily IE web page problems have disappeared, and so far my machine has far fewer things found by Ad Alert and Spybot when I do scans.

"55 over several years"

Try 55 security holes in just MONTHS!
And...virus writers haven't even began to really focus much attention on Firefox, yet.
Most virus writers are still concentrating on the overwhelming market leader, Microsoft Internet Explorer.

With just a tiny percentage of virus writers attacking, Firefox is already springing security holes like a sieve.
Imagine what Firefox is going to look like when malignant code writers REALLY concentrate on it, like they have on Internet Explorer for years.
The Firefox massive con is beginning to unscramble like Clinton's lies about Lewinsky.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!
