hole, not holes.
all software has holes, its all about how fast the vendor provides a patch. according to secunia the one flaw that firefox has is rated less critical and IE7 has 3 flaws, 2 are the same less critical rating and one is rated critical. I would rather use a browser that has one less critical flaw, then a browser with 2 less critical and 1 critical. I know for a fact that there will be another firefox patch before microsoft has any of the 3 flaws in IE7 patched.

I don't really care which browser is the best or has more share. All I know is that by having alternative web browsers like Firefox and Opera, it is making the web a safer place for everyone for 2 reasons.
Reasons:
1.By having more browsers it makes all browser makers compete to have the most secure browser. (Microsoft would have never updated IE6 if not for Firefox and Opera and all the features and security they were including)
2.Hackers have to divide there time up on the different browsers, therefore exploiting less flaws per browser.
