btw...i personally like Firefox over IE because it runs more stable. if i recall IE would suffer constant illegal operation errors.

answer the following yes or no questions:

1- have there been several updates to firefox to address vulnerabilities and exploits?
2- have some of those been high risk or critical?

if you say no to either question, you're full of shit:

I heart my IE. I have no problems, why get anything else?

1 - what is your point here? that mozilla fixes FF's problems?
2 - who said there haven't been?

keep side stepping all you want. you're never going to avoid the fact that you have no argument.

the AOL browser is a skinned mozilla browser with a bunch of built-in plugins, and a feature that switches to an embedded IE browsing engine instead, if you enable it.

no argument? i believe my argument is very simple, clear, and fully proven by those firefox links themselves. it's not my fault if you're too dense to get it.

maybe it's time for me to switch from firefox to opera. then i'd have 4 browsers on my computer! Firefox, Netscape, IE, and Opera.

does anyone here use opera yet?
