IE - Of 80 total vulnerabilites - 14% Extremely Critial, 28% Highly Critical
Firefox - Of 16 total vulnerabilites - 6% Extremely Critial , 13% Highly Critial

The numbers speak for themselves...

No, until FireFox has the kind of code coverage that IE gets, the numbers won't speak for themselves.

Actually they do -- thanks for pointing that out. You neglected TIME (length of each app on the market, and time taken to isolate and fix the vulnerabilities.) The numbers says that 80 vulnerabilities in Explorer and only 16 have been fixed in Firefox. This pops the myth "that open source is more secure" because Firefox has been around a lot less then Explorer and still major vulnerabilities have been found. It would be an interesting data point to discover how many vulnerabilities Explorer had in the same time period as Firefox.
