still sticking with Firefox
Despite security risks, I am still sticking with Firefox. No browser is 100% safe, but I feel safer
with Firefox. I use Noscript extention to Firefox, which disables almost all scripts by default. With no script running on untrusted website, I am less able to affected by security risks. BTW IE Patch which I applyed last week caused some malfunction to one application program in my computer.

Apples and Oranges of Open/Closed Source
Firefox = open-source transparency, more bugs discovered and reported.
IE = security through obscurity, more bugs hidden.

Firefox's transparency will ultimately create a far superior product, but not without a whole bunch of yellow journalism along the way. Apparently "Firefox crushing more bugs" isn't a sexy headline.
