Jiminy christmas you guys DID NOT ANSWER MY Fn QUESTION.

If Firefox was the number one browser with 95% of the market would it or would it not have as many issues as IE when it comes to ceratain security problems ie; pop-ups, spy-ware,mal-ware,hijack-ware? If you were a person looking to cause massive world wide internet propblems would you or would you not target the largest company out there?

Mozilla blocks popups no matter how many people are using it. You figure it's some kind of giant cluster thing?>>>>

Where in the world did you come up with that nonsense, seriously. Popups and hijackers, spy ware and others are specifically coded towards IE, of course IE is going to have more problems there. What does the amount of users have to do with it? Its all about what they are geared at. I cant believe I am having this argument.

Look I use firefox, I like it and will continue to use it. I just dont buy into the theory that IE is a totally inferior product because you say so, its inferior because its the target of the world community. And if Firefox ever got that big it would fallter also.

I did answer your question. I'm sorry it wasn't the answer you wanted.

The answer is NO.

Just like Apache, the number one web server, doesn't have as many issues as ISS.

Just like Sendmail, the number one mail server, doesn't have as many issues as Exchange.

Popups and hijackers, spy ware and others are specifically coded towards IE, of course IE is going to have more problems there.

No, they aren't, and I begin to see the problem here. You don't understand how the underlying technology works, so you don't understand why Mozilla works differently.

And if Firefox ever got that big it would fallter also.

And once again:

WRONG
