Firefox Users Most Secure on Internet, Study Reveals

[arrrgh]

There's one open secunia advisory for Firefox 3 which is going to be patched as soon as Firefox 3.0.1 clears QA. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "problems beginning to accumulate".

Edit: And since 44% of Opera users surf with vulnerable browsers, there obviously is something wrong with their security policies. Opera users are hardly the novice bunch who don't know how to update software.

Opera's problem was that (until some time during the 9.0 releases) their changelogs never listed security holes found by Opera employees. So we're lead to believe that either Opera was so perfect there were no security bugs for their team to find (bull****), or Opera QA and developers were so inept or inexperienced they never found their own security bugs (also bull****), or they just decided to sweep all the issues they found themselves under the carpet by not making public internally found security issues (ding ding ding).

I believe this has changed now, but it's certainly skewed the historic stats for any metric you care to use to measure a browser's security level.

I don't see how that matters. In the end it's the product itself that matter and how secure it is.
