I haven't paid much attention to these vulnerabilities (since I don't
use IE5 and have no sympathy for anyone who does) but I think they are
mostly ActiveX-related problems and since Mozilla won't be supporting
ActiveX (I assume!) it will probably be a whole lot more secure.  Of
course, Netscape has had its fair share of problems too - mostly due to
JavaScript but the freely available source code (and free license) for
Mozilla will hopefully mean these problems are found earlier and fixed
quicker than IE5.

Regards,

Christian.
