Oh grow up. I pick up more bad stuff using IE than I ever do using FF.

Microsoft hasn't ever shipped malware,

I think you're missing the point: here, the malware came from the vendor - Microsoft hasn't ever shipped malware, as far as I know, but Mozilla has.

I guess nobody reads links these days. Vietnamese language pack is an addon and doesn't ship with the browser.

Micro$oft ships far worse, hActiveX comes to mind.

Blaming ActiveX is like holding an operating system liable because they provide a way to delete a file.

I agree, Firefox and Mozilla WILL become unsafe also just like IE.

Firefox is gaining momentum and its market share is picking up. And that will result in more exploitations.
