so there is no spyware that exploits a wekaness in Firefox, but there might be in the future. ok, this sounds only like 'FUD'.

Even if spyware appeared I doubt it could ever reach the magnitude of tourture that IE was/is.

I just wonder if one GIANT company has anything to do with this... *cough*

Not all that scary, really.. And not very surprising...

They will target whatever is popular, this is just proof of Firefox's continued success.

spammers, telemarketers, and spyware propagators = like flies around brown stuff.

God didn't make the choice you made, you did. So thank yourself. Someday Firefox and Opera users may have to beware of spyware. But hopefully while 89% of the market share is dominated by IE to continue attracting malicious coding morons, Firefox and Opera will have the opportunity to increase their security measures as to be 3 or 5 steps ahead of spyware.

I have 0 spyware, 0 viruses, very few ads, and 0 pop-ups. I'm satisfied with my browser.
