Some actual references might be helpful here. Using a google search "firefox vulernabilities" and clicking on "News" shows a lot of info. Some interesting ones are: http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/1-0&fp=4522f2a8c77d4439&ei=e4MiRazsOIjyoQKU2JTHBw&url=http%3A//www.net-security.org/advisory.php%3Fid%3D6737&cid=0 http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/3-0&fp=4522f2a8c77d4439&ei=e4MiRazsOIjyoQKU2JTHBw&url=http%3A//www.technologyreview.com/blog/posts.aspx%3Fid%3D17414&cid=0 and finally a bit of apparent truth to the 30 vulnerability story: http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/3-0&fp=4522f2a8c77d4439&ei=e4MiRazsOIjyoQKU2JTHBw&url=http%3A//www.technologyreview.com/blog/posts.aspx%3Fid%3D17414&cid=0 There are lots of other stories there too.
