Microsoft hasn't ever shipped malware,

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.

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.
