It's all a big conspiracy! They'll hunt you down, steal your identity, trap you in a metal cage... with tubes in your neck! Evil Microsoft, how we fear you!
I wholeheartedly agree. There are so many attack vectors for web browsers (file download, email attachments, p2p download etc), many of which are equally dangerous to ALL the mainstream browsers.
Why do you mention information on OSS and malware in the same post?
Are you making the false assumption that OSS is somehow invulnerable to malware? I know how much you OSS advocates love to make this pretense.
I'd watch out though. Firefox has had more vulnerability reports (including an "extremely critical") than IE6 in 2005 (according to secunia.com). Wouldn't want to be responsible for misinforming consumers in order to peddle software would you?

Browser performance isn't a problem?
One of the many reasons I don't use Firefox is because it is a dog to load, both on Mac and PC, sometimes taking 10+ seconds.
"Fuck off and die, IE" Haha, spoken like a true bitter OSS zealot
