The Secunia report also states that 12 of 12 zero day exploits/vulnerabilites were IE/ActiveX related. Which is not a miracle given that the malware "industry" surely targets the platform with the widest "reach" in terms of security holes. I don't understand the "pissing contest" quality of the current discussion. If Mozilla had the market share of IE, the vulnerabilites in Firefox and browsers based on it would be the prime target of the bad boys. So in essence, you're complaining about the market share of IE and to the critical attention it receives because of that? :-)
