  3. Firefox Insecure on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Although I use Firefox for 95% of my browsing because I consider it more secure for everyday browsing and more resilient against spyware, I do not use Firefox for my Internet banking. I use IE instead as it is more secure and bug free in that regard.

    I use use Internet banking sites one for a regular bank and one for Internet only bank. For one of them however, Firefox has a ugly bug where using the keypad and double clicking the button results in 3 of the same number being input. Although not a security risk it has caused a number of invalid logins. The keypad was implemented as a security feature against key loggers more than a year ago.

    The other one has a serious security bug, where after logging out, all I have to do is press the back button enough times and Firefox will prompt me to resubmit POST data(the login) and it will log me right back into Internet banking without having to type in my account number or password. This happens even though I am accessing a secure site, and despite the fact that Firefox was instructed to not cache passwords.

    In addition numerous rendering bugs causes some features of my banking to be unusable.
