It's still 99% safer than IE. I'll take my chances with Mozilla any day.
In my office, there are Mozilla users and IE users. During my recent rounds checking workstation security, every single IE user was infected with at least one virus and at least two browser hijacks. Total viruses and hijacks for Mozilla users: zero.
I subscribe to Kim Komando's newsletters. She convinced me to switch to Mozilla's Firefox!
However, in her yesterday's newsletter she said after Microsoft's latest security patch she has now switched back to I.E. being more safe!!
To: The wizards here. How do you switch back to I.E.?
Thank you!!!

Simply start using IE again if you want it. You can't get rid of it without getting rid of the whole Microsoft OS. Type "iexplore" in the Run command line.

However, in her yesterday's newsletter she said after Microsoft's latest security patch she has now switched back to I.E. being more safe!!I believe it. On Saturday I tried installing that patch. The installation froze half way through and now I can't connect to the internet at all without booting SuSE. Safer? Yep, but not quite what I had in mind.
Maybe I'll fix it one of these days. But right now I'm still too PO'ed.
