Yep, firefox has some holes in it as well. What's more amusing is that one that was discovered was in IE as well 
Edit: for the record, I use IE and run scans with spybot every so often. No malware yet! |
Firefox 1.0, to the best of my knowledge, has very few security holes.
Besides, if you're responsible enough, you won't be hit. Most things are common sense.
Also, another thing worthy of noting:
Number of times IE has crashed on me throughout my entire use of it (1995-1004): A really large amount, pretty uncountable
Number of times Firefox has crashed on me: 2.
Large Number > 2 = FIREFOX WINS.
Lastly, all the problems i've ever had with spyware were tied in with IE somehow. I've never had a browser hijack, pop-up scare, virus, trojan horse, worm, or any other type of malware using Firefox. In fact, I trust it so much that it would be the default browser, but Dad somehow loves IE. Boo.
