Only if you're stupid enough to install add-ons from untrusted sources. Seriously, who is that stupid?

A good majority of people. I deal with them every day ~

Well then there's no hope. Tell them to use Linux.

I've read on the internetz that there's a funny game if I type 'sudo obliteratekernalandmeltlinussfaceoff' into the box thingy.

Real men use IE, real men arnt afraid of security flaws

I use IE, and I don't care.  I barely run Anti-virus software or firewalls

I like to live dangerously

Tecnically internet browsers are security flaws. tbh.

All of these security flaws are found because of the same reason there are more viruses for Windows. Script kiddies target the majority user base.

That always been assumed but don't be so sure... Bit9 named FF it's most Vulnerable windows app.

Only through java script and un-verified 3rd party ad-ons or the usual links every browser is susceptible to.

FF isn't so bad that Mozilla have such a fuck up they say, oh shit this version and all previous versions of Firefox have this huge security flaw and we advise you to switch browsers immediately.
