Can’t believe it either but an Internet Security Threat Report by Symantec puts Firefox at the top of the list for the most insecure browser in 2007. See comparative charts after the jump.
According to Symantec, Firefox had 122 reported vulnerabilities last year. That’s more than twice the number of security holes found on MS Internet Explorer.
Here’s the breakdown:
Mozilla Firefox: 122
Internet Explorer: 57
Safari : 47
Opera: 19
The growing popularity of Firefox may have contributed to the increase in vulnerabilities discovered in the browser. {via: Softpedia}

Are you shitting me?? OMFG, and I thought Firefox was safer than even IE7 (which is why I switched over). So should I go back to IE or stay with FF??
Not really “popularity”, Opera is still very popular but it appears from their study that Opera is the most secure. I would say that Opera’s popularity is more or less the same as FF’s.
Then Safari. Being a new browser for Win-based OS, Safari is doing a great job.
As we all know, most FF problems came from plugins and addons.
yup tama kayo ganun talaga opera user ako kaso hindi ako satisfied kaya firefox din gamit ko
I use Firefox and it’s really great…
I use Chrome
Its faster than IE 7 in alot of ways. I do not need to go to google just to use its search engive
