Story: Firefox slips up through Greasemonkey flaw

Oh well, it looks like it's begun in earnest...

I don't claim to be a preacher of Internet Explorer, but then I've always said that its numerous security issues have not all been down to poor coding, but down to its popularity.

Now firefox is beginning to make a dent in IE's market share (which will no doubt be helped by lack of 2000 support in IE7), it is becoming more of a worthwhile target to exploit-finders, as well as coming under increasing levels of security scrutiny. The results of this are a new flaw found seemingly every few days.

Not criticism, not preaching, just unfortunately a fact of life. The more popular you become, the more people will target you.
