Thanks Steve @ HardOCP
Jeff Jones, Security Strategy Director of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group, says that IE is more secure than Firefox. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize those are fightin' words right there! Secure your Nomex clothing and other fire retardant gear because I'm predicting a flame war in 3...2...1.
"Jones explains in his report Browser Vulnerability Analysis (PDF), that Mozilla has fixed 199 security vulnerabilities since November 2004, when Firefox first appeared, of which 75 were critical, 100 medium and 24 of low importance. Over the same period, a total of 87 security vulnerabilities were fixed in Internet Explorer, of which 54 were critical, 28 medium and 5 of low importance."
