    They will and are already there. And fixed faster since Firefox is open source.

    But then people already warned about IE 3.0 in 1996 as Netscape's Navigator had more users. by this time the IE already had more bugs than Netscape.

    About that time the problems started and did not end yet; became worse.

    As for "hacking software being out for a while": the Apache web server (open source) is wider spread than the ISS by Microsoft. And you can recall from the past which one had more security problems in the past.

    I think you be of the safe side in past, present
    and future not to use the Internet Explorer or it's add-ons. Time will tell.

    It's an add-on. Microsoft itself cannot do add-ins. The add-on is more a different browser using MS' (broken and dangerous) rendering engine.
