Firefox accounted 44% of all browser vulnerabilities

[Electrocuter]

Maybe it's because people actually bother to report bugs on Firefox, people using IE are possibly new to computers and probably don't even know what a bug or a bug report is.

[Machete]

Yeah I have noticed firefox getting screwed up alot easier.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;20056962]Another reason to go get Opera 10.50

There u go.

There's been released new versions of Opera 10.50 every week the last month.

I'm more inclined to think that it's because FF is popular.

This is the most stupid, nerdiest post I've ever seen

[strongreaction]

propaganda.

[doonbugie]

Fanboys for web browsers? I just use a browser and it works, I have tried all of them and I usually use Firefox... it works.

Maybe this will put the developers on their feet and be more active in improving the browser. I would hope so.

I wonder where chrome ranks in this

Firefox is actually fast as hell as long as you don't install every fucking addon you encounter. I have like 5 and I never crash. I once had a problem with it crashing but that was due to Adobe's Flash being a giant dick.

Love and miss using firefox but I can't live without the speed of Chrome anymore.

Someone should make a firefox build using the chrome v8 engine. The great functionality of firefox's gui and it's thousands of extensions(I'm aware of chrome's extensions, but it's selection can't rival firefox's) and the speed and stability of the chrome v8 engine.

I find this article to be very ironic

[ReCreate]

Did you know that the vulnerabilities in firefox are less severe than the ones in other browsers?

[QUOTE=Panda X;20088875]So it's a good idea to leave Firefox insecure?[/QUOTE]
good thing this article is talking about bugs that are discovered and fixed then, thus fixing the vulnerablities

[AbbySciuto]

zero firefox problems

have a decent firewall with whitelist allows and you don't have a problem

[Lazor]

the report also says that 8% of web vulnerabilities are browser vulnerabilities, and the top 10 vulnerabilities of 2009 aren't browser vulnerabilities

[Killergam]

That's only because Firefox is more widely used, so more problems will pop up obviously.

Chrome is a great browser, although it doesn't support everything which firefox can do at the momment. I think chrome should pay opera for royalties of the "most visited website page" Since it's clear google stole that idea.

[Hammertime]

Opera :smug:

[jalit]

I don't even use addons with Firefox. I'm thinking of switching back to Opera, I remember how fast it was.

[JonniXD]

Hah! Take that, Firefox users!

No, Firefox is fine, I only use Opera because I wanna be special :downs: !

Like everytime, as more a product is used as more bugs you will find - That's why IE got that dogma to be "unsafe" - But that also was Microsofts fault since their bugfixes sometimes took weeks or months.

Now where FF is spread widely, it was just a matter of time before the amount in bugs rises (because more and more people testing FF to the limits).

Saying "Crome/Opera/Safari - insert any other browser" is safer is just true for the moment. If they were at the point FireFox is now, the same would happen to them.
