There’s actually an interesting caveat I saw about Firefox when it came out. Firefox for the most part is indeed more secure than Internet Explorer (Also, like Apple, it’s not quite the highest nail, so it’s yet to really get hammered real hard by malware.) However, there was an interesting add-on called NoScript (I believe that’s the name of it.) that denied the ability of scripts to run from a page without express permission from the user. In the end, the download page was touting that this add-on was what made Firefox the most secure browser on the planet. Fact of Crap, it’s a step in the right direction.
