Firefox is slow to load: "Because it has more powerfull features" Firefox is a memory hog: "Because ram is cheap" Funny how when someone find problems about Firefox everyone finds “good” reasons for it.

Firefox is slow to load: “Because it has more powerfull features”

It is that MS has only told us about 87. How many fixes were silently rolled into service packs? Nobody knows. I'll tell you something else. Nobody truly knows what MS isn't fixing or rolling silently into service packs and Windows updates because the source is closed. The true nature of the patches is closed. Everything about the system is closed. I don't for one second believe that MS has only fixed 87 vulnerabilities in IE. They may have only been caught 87 times but that is different. Mozilla source is open. Mozilla takes a proactive stance on fixing vulnerabilities. MS doesn't. It isn’t that MS only NEEDED to fix 87 vulnerabilities that is key here.
