    Poll...heh...

    I dumped IE a long time ago, unfortunately I have to use it for windows updates...(GRRR!) I have a lot of problems with my software (video drivers) so I frequent windows update. (a few times on a daily basis.)

    Anywho, I just wanted to say that I like the option of "Were not changing (MS has us by the nuts)"

    MS has my work compy by the jubley's, too. only because my boss and fellow employees refuse to use Firefox.

    bah.

    When Firefox reaches critical mass... that is to say, when it is so popular, the dweebs who target IE will start looking at FF as a target. Then and only then will the user find out if FF is more or less secure than any other browser.

    I personally like FF, but I am not willing to put my neck out and say it is more or less secure than another browser... only those finding security flaws in the code can provide that info.

    well NooNoo, you summed up the entire reason people who dont know anything about pc security say IE is full of holes, cause they dont know that no one is as actively finding holes in FF, and exploiting them.

    PS. I like FF too, but still use IE

    I would agree to a certain point.
    That point would be that it is not a "microsoft" product therefore it will not be subject to the group who are of the mind that anything microsoft is bad and therefore should be attacked.
    I think because of that it will suffer far less
