The incident mentioned in the article has nothing to do with Firefox being hacked.

I'm not following you, is this intended as a counterpoint to my statement? My response mentioned nothing about this site in particular and how it was hacked. I simply added a comment relevant to the article about the fact that more of Firefox's flaws are being discovered as it's following increases.

No. Just more of a clarifying statement for others on the thread based on your comment. You mentioned defects being found in Firefox while the article made no mention of same.

I'm not really sure how much the increased marketshare of Firefox is affecting number of defects reported. They get louder press now due to visibility I suppose, but we've been finding stuff since the browser was first released. The code is still fairly new, but I'd say it's become pretty solid overall, at least by my usage. I've been using FF since it was a .2 release. (off and on - some of the early nightlies were horrid.) Relative to other offerings out there, it's not doing too badly as far as features, stability and defects are concerned IMO.
