C'mon people...This is the classic FUD that *all* closed-source companies are spouting! Just because something is popular doesn't mean it will get cracked. Apache is the de-facto standard for unix (and a lot of windows) web servers, but you don't hear about Apache servers getting pwn3d do you? No! It's the
less popular IIS server that is getting taken all the time. Why? Because it's fundamentally flawed, and Apache is not. Code can be written to be secure, whether it is popular or not. I'm not saying Firefox is perfect, but just because it's popular doesn't automatically mean that within a year it'll be just as riddled with problems as IE.
