lol... thats like saying it's a good idea to shoot yourself in the foot because more than likely a doctor can fix it... my opinion... all things considered, i'd rather just not get shot in the first place.

Kinda the same reason for me... everyone is targeting the more common browser, so I consciously choose to use one that is less of a target... It's usually the guy standing out in front that gets shot first... me... i'm wearing a bullet proof vest, flak helmet, and steel toe boots, hiding behind the biggest thickest piece of steel I can... and if they'd invent it, i'd wear a cloaking device... I depend on my computer way too much to take any kind of risks...
As for your experience, I never questioned it... I simply offer my point of view in regards to Firefox, as was the topic of this thread... and sorry but yes, the security of my data, my client's data and my computer is something I take VERY seriously.
