Well, While I concur that there are some really cool plug-ins for firefox, the "security" argument is just false. There are tons of holes in Firefox too....

Even my favorite, Opera http://www.opera.com/ has security issues.

A big problem with mozilla's patching is that you have to get a whole new build of the app, not a patch. http://www.mozilla.org/

Of course all three of these browsers are much better than the latest netscape iteration http://www.netscape.com/ a java based monstorsity. I used to love netscape back before the went all java codebase (plus I think AOL bought them)...

Anyway, I am curious, do any of you run open source OS'es?
