Now when this comes out through the repos in Linux, I'll use it.
Besides, the versions I use are called IceWeasel and Bon Echo, depending on if I'm using Blag70000 or Zenwalk 5.0!
Even at that, this is only my backup browser to Seamonky.
Otherwise,wouldn't and don't install this on Windows.

Of course it was it. It was obviously sarcasm.
FF is still more secure...More users = more flaws, I love surfing with FF and I feel very secure with it.

Yes, more secure. More stable? No. I have 3X as many crashes with FF as IE7 (w/IE Pro of course!
I am looking forward to 3.0 also.

me personally, stability is a non-issue cause "both" ( IE and Firefox ) are more then stable enough for what they do
im a full time Firefox user myself and sure i get crashes once in a while but it's fairly rare and usually certain website with some sorta plugin like flash etc that makes it crash.
and overall (like was said above) Firefox is probably overall more secure just cause it has less users
plus another reason Firefox i think is better than IE in general is cause once you get add-on's like "Adblock plus" and "NoScript" it makes Firefox even more secure and blocks noticeably more popups vs IE

It's very rare that I have any browser crash.
Backed by huge marketing push though.
If you are a heavy user, then in my opinion it can't be beat.

"don't patch vulnerabilities for fifty percent, take the time and fix the cause. Because directory traversal through plugins is all nice and such, we don't need it. We can trick Firefox itself in traversing directories back. I found another information leak that is very serious because we are able to read out all preferences set in Firefox, or just open or include about every file stored in the Mozilla program files directory, and this without any mandatory settings or plugins.," said Ronald van den Heetkamp

I agree they should fix it, but it's not a massive-red-letters vulnerability - it's barely worth mentioning.
I'm afraid that doesn't happen with me on windows XP.
There I said it. No one has so far bought it up so I had to.
And I have no viruses and issues with Trojan, etc. and no vulnerabilities that plague other browsers.
%firefox%
I use Web Developer Toolbar, SEOQuake, FireFTP, ChatZilla, GSpace, IETab, to name a few, and I don't have these problems. What Extensions are you referring to?
