4 Years Later, The Mozilla Tide Has Turned

Geez, for a second here I was expecting a short video at the end of this guy chanting "Mozilla! Mozilla! Mozilla!".
This was not news. To pretty much anybody here it isn't anyways. What did it say? "Mozilla has turned a corner". Yeah, it turned that corner a little while ago and is now accelerating out of the turn.
I don't want to take anything away from the mozilla devs. I use firebird (haven't upgraded to firefox yet) as my primary and have for the last year or so. However this was nothing short of a fluff article with no real substance behind it. It might as well have just been a post by some random person here.
With IE you can stop thinking and be given viruses. With Mozilla you can stop thinking and nothing harmfull happens
The lack of virii avaiable for Mozilla doesn't mean it's more secure. It could mean that the 400 or so users have better things to do then write virii for eachother.
