No piece of software is perfect, at least with FireFox we can easily find out what bugs have been discovered, we don't know how many flaws still exist in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, Safari or even Opera for that matter.

The why doesn't someone like yourself or any other decent coder get off their fat arse and fix the bloody bugs then?

I would, but I'm a complete C newb.

MrX:
well, we all know that firefox really isnt that great, its just that its freeware and it works without getting your system infected is why its soo poopular. (note, note the spelling)

and that's why Opera rulez, because it's the best and has the fewest bugs, and is the fastest.

Well FireFox isn't freeware it's free software, Opera is freeware and addware, or you can get the non-addware payware version.

Read may last post again, we don't know how many bugs Opera has. I'm sorry for not pointing out the obvious reason why we know about most of the bugs in FireFox and not in Opera, it's because FireFox is open source and as Opera is closed source I'd wager a bet that more than half the bugs are secrete. Opera might even more bugs than FireFox and be less secure than FireFox for all we know and because it's less popular virus writers are far less likely to take advantage of the exploits.
