Isn't Firefox source code available to download?

If the security holes are there, they'll surely be found if FF becomes popular. However, my guess is that FF is fundamentally and intrinsically vastly more secure than any incarnation of IE is ever likely to be (in the foreseable future anyway). The argument that IE is a victim of its own success is almost certainly rubbish.

Here's a thought. Perhaps MS is paving the way for an announcment along the lines of they are adopting FF/Mozilla technology themselves - they may be trying to work out some way to spin it so that it proves MS are taking security seriously. Anything is possible where MS are concerned.
