You more or less implied that IE security issues were, um, new, with the
wording of your statement above. "The main reason why I added Firefox
*now* is that IE is experiencing big problems concernig security
*nowadays*."
Nowadays? <lol>

Hundreds of English-language pages have been reporting the WMF exploit
for a week or so.

I never said that. However, Firefox (and the Mozilla group) is known to
issue updated versions much more quickly than Microsoft. Thirdly,
Firefox was *born* much more secure than IE to begin.
Have a journey through http://secunia.com/product/
selecting current Microsoft and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
IE:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x with all vendor patches installed and
all vendor workarounds applied, is currently affected by one or more
Secunia advisories rated Highly critical.
Currently, 21 out of 91 Secunia advisories, are marked as "Unpatched" in
the Secunia database.
Firefox:
Mozilla Firefox 1.x with all vendor patches installed and all vendor
workarounds applied, is currently affected by one or more Secunia
advisories rated Less critical.
Currently, 3 out of 26 Secunia advisories, are marked as "Unpatched" in
the Secunia database.

Sometimes I need a dose of humour. It's always fun to watch you reject
good solutions.
