Not just this, but i've read other news stories which says simular things.
Have you actually read that article? it basicly says that while there where 25 new exploits discovered (of wich 18 where serious) that all but three have been addressed and patched. Compared to the 13 found in IE 19 of wich remain unaddressed and unpatched (indicating there are flaws in IE that have been around a lot longer than a year).
So basicly that article states that while more flaws where found in FF, due to mozilla it remains far more secure than IE, it doesnt really back up your point.

Also, considdering the fact that FF has only really become widespread in the last 24-18 months I dont think its really supprising that so many bugs have been found in the last 12 months.
