I sincerely hope that everyone running Firefox because it's "safer" is also taking appropriate steps for malware protection, and not counting on the browser's reputation to protect them. The Firefox Armageddon is coming. The saturation point is nigh, and some kid living in his mother's basement is gearing up to gain fame and acclaim as the first to unleash a major FF infection.
Code has bugs. Code has holes. Once there are enough people using said code, it becomes a target. They will crack it, and it probably won't take very long, either. Anyone living with a false sense of security is in deep doo-doo.
I still use IE as my primary, despite the way the favorites work in 7 annoying the hell out of me. Firefox basically serves as a way to keep LesLumens logged in, so I don't have to do the log out, log in thing. Chrome serves the same purpose for my third pen name.
All it took was a couple of snooty splash screens from websites saying "get a real browser" to discourage me from changing my normal habits. That annoys me far more than having IE integrated into the OS.
Now, I leave for a while and come back and this is here.
I don't really know what you said there, but it sounded very scary. Holes? Bugs?
By the way, Mr. Dark and secret,
