I did not hear of this. IE seems to have so many holes.

The grass is green, the sky is blue.

How long until another critical bug is found do you think? I'll put £5 for before Christmas

IE is still decades behind. Improper CSS parsing is shocking.

This isn't surprising, at all. It's just typical of Microsoft.

Just don't forget that no software is perfect. However FireFox is so much better than IE. I don't get why people still use it.

Unsurprising.

It won't be long before Firefox becomes the target for the next generation of hackers though.

Once they've found so many problems with IE that Microsoft are forced to close it down you mean?

Hehe.

Firefox does have holes and they are patched up every now and again but not released to the public, as Firefox only have something like 19.6% of the browser market (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) there are not all to many people using it, so its not a large target, I think Firefox is way more advanced and better than IE it loads faster and seems to display webpages more correctly than IE does, I have been using it before it was even named Firefox it was called Firebird and even back then I was more happy with it then IE, as IE would crash with 3 or more windows open on my laptop every 10 mins so I had to get away from it, I hope Firefox one day does come through with over or at 50% of the browser market that would be great there are still so many people out there that dont know about Firefox!

A lot of people know about firefox, they just dont use it. They feel "comfortable" with IE. I guess thats because thats all they know about. Ive treid to get people in my house to use Firefox, but they just dont understand how it is better, safer, ect.

Ive even gone as far as deleting IE from the comp. They used Firefox to re-download it.
