I like Mozilla, and I use Mozilla (and some other open source programs). What I am against is the open source dogma - the idea that open source programs tend to be better in quality and related mythology.

All of these security vulnerabilities in Mozilla ought to give pause to the Linux Nuts. Instead of going off on Microsoft for its problems, they ought to shut up and look more closely at their own buggy software. Try reading the Unix Haters Handbook sometime if you think the Unix security is all that!
