They try hard to look for Firefox's death knell and have come up short. Its still better from a security point of view than Internet Explorer. And with an open-source strategy, flaws can be spotted immediately along with a responsive turnaround on fixes. That's something lumbering Microsoft needs to work on.

Firefox seems to be heading Internet Explorer's way with security research company Secunia stating on its website that two vulnerabilities found in the popular browser can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and compromise a user's system.

16 vulnerabilites for Firefox vs. 80 vulnerabilities for IE...Firefox is sure going the way of IE... - sarcasm. Microsoft publishes 8 security fixes at a time!
