O.P. MS say firefox is not a threat to IE (old news)
I found this and found it funny :


Just days after the launch of open-source browser Firefox 1.0, Microsoft executives defended Internet Explorer, saying it is no less secure than any other browser and doesn't lack any important features.

At a security roundtable discussion in Sydney on Thursday, Ben English, Microsoft's security and management product manager, told attendees that IE undergoes "rigorous code reviews" and is no less secure than any other browser.

"Because IE is ubiquitous, you hear a lot more about it, but I don't think that Internet Explorer is any less secure than any other browser out there," English said.

Steve Vamos, Microsoft Australia's managing director, agreed, saying he does not believe IE's market share is under attack following the recent high-profile debut of the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser.

Vamos said that although he has heard other people mention the competitive threat posed by Firefox, he doesn't see it as a problem.


IE is probably the worst for security and they say there is nothing wrong with IE's security :lol:

Just cause IE comes as standard on Microsoft doesn't mean FFox is not a threat I think Microsoft should be worried by it.

Sorry if this is really old :P. Do you think IE is under threat from FFox?
