A "security" company called "cenzic" claims that Firefox has 44% of web browser security vulnerabilities while Microsoft Internet Explorer has only 15%. But their report offers no substantiation: just a pie chart which we are to take on faith and not a shred of data regarding how they arrived at the figures. Want to bet that Microsoft sponsored the report?

What is even more irksome is that Slashdot founder Rob Malda gave this the headline "Firefox Most Vulnerable Browser, Safari Close" - which makes it sound like a fact - when even a brief look at the report would have told him the company had nothing to back up their claim. Rob should know better. Most of the Slashdot readers who bothered to post a comment were able to conclude quickly enough that the report had no substance.
