"Firefox's vulnerabilities are almost double that of IE," said Oliver Friedrichs, the senior manager of Symantec's security response research team. "[But] when you take a step back, two factors make that less severe."
First, he said, is that by nature IE vulnerabilities pose more problems to more people. "Because IE has a much larger base, a vulnerability within IE is far more widespread and generally has a much more severe impact than those in the Mozilla family," acknowledged Friedrichs.
Second, Mozilla's browsers are almost always patched quickly, while IE's problems often languish for months before they're fixed, exposing users to possible "zero-day" attacks for months. "You're much more likely to have vulnerabilities fixed quickly with open-source software like Firefox," said Friedrichs. "So the exposure time is much less."
