Yes,correct,But if we compare with other browsers,Mozilla is secure because the vendor response to a vulnerability is very fast (window of exposure is low)and they allready taken initiative to help users by updating insecure software.. For Mozilla Users: Check the plugins and update........ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Cheers:----

I agree that such kind of attacks can be prevented not only by the use of web browser but also the anti-virus softwares that you use. Moreover, inspite of development of ie8,firefox still accounts for development and bug-fixing tools. To be more secure, use some of the firefox suggested add-ons which contain solution on some of the vulnerabilities. Maybe, I put the argument in this way. Since, firefox is more popular when compared to other browsers, there is a possibility for the hackers to pierce the loop-holes of the browser and hence such kind of attacks prevail. To check on the add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/ Cheers!

I still feels that Mozilla Firefox is the best in terms of Security, Speed, Ease of Use, etc. It is always the best competitor for all other browsers. I observed that few of us, do not know properly on how to use it or might have few issues using the other applications associated to fire fox or computer usage.

I've been using mozilla for a while now. I have had no viruses (unless due to my own stupidity). The thing i like about Firefox the best is the multiple tab speed. I can have like 20 tabs open and they all are fairly fast. (mind you it does slow down some compared to one tab) But on Internet explorer as soon as I open 3 tabs it takes FOREVER to load. I also share the views that Firefox downloads way faster then Internet explorer. Firefox is a more, I would say, active community with all its addons and what not. Internet explorer crashes from trying to use addons. Schools like the people are either unaware of firefox's capabilities or are "to lazy to install it." Thus I see students installing firefox on their own.
Firefox is better opinion only because they have indeed a rather low profile compared to IE, but not by much anymore. And because they have a larger add-on creating community. Working on Firefox is very easy since it gives better speed. Moreover, firefox 3 is becoming more n more popular! Here is a report. FIREFOX 3
