I warned all the anti-Microsoft people a long time ago not to gloat too much over Internet Explorer's flaws because the same will happen to FireFox.
The more people use it, the more vulnerabilities will be revealed. Pure common sense.

The most important thing that Firefox did was break Microsoft's monopoly on the browser. Now IE has popup blocking and the next version they will have tabs. Other features will follow. This is a good thing. While I have no problem with a natural monopoly, I believe that Microsoft abused their monopoly with the browser wars. Now that the browser wars have started again the quality of web browsers has skyrocketed. Microsoft is even faster on fixing security problems.
I use Firefox because I can't live without tabs and a reasonable popup blocker. If Microsoft makes a better browser I may switch (though they are probably about a year and a half behind right now).
