Now, I do find it slightly ironic that there is a security vulnerability out there that IE isn't affected by...

Solutions or Workarounds are in the article.. |
so now we are supposed to thank M$ for never implementing the most useful of browsing features..
No thanks
so there is a new vulnerability - this is not uncommon... There are still less for Firefox than for IE.

I would disagree - the fact that M$ have implemented these features shows that Firefox (and other browsers) is having an effect - I have been running Firefox since Version 0.6 (or possibly earlier) and have had no issues with it.
My wife, who is no techie (but knows more about M$ office etc than me) is now using it, and thinks it is far better than IE.
As long as products like Firefox keep adding features and improving the "user experience", then there will always be a market for them.
