The Inquirer is know for spreading scare tactics and inaccuracies throughout the web and can hardly be called a source of sound and valid information. The way they report is testament to that. In the top article alone they refer to Firefox as many other things including...Firebadger, Fireferret, Firepossum and Mozzarella which is hardly a joking matter when we are talking about interent security and trying to help the less well informed internet users.
However they do also point out that...

There are some problems with the Symantec figures. The first is that it only reports flaws that have been confirmed by the vendor. Vole does not have to do this, and there is also a backlog of some 19 that Microsoft has to fix in comparison to only three for Firepossum.

I prefer to get my quality and trusted reports from
here were there is no need for dramatic headlines, scare tactics or any hidden agendas
However I would recommend to all out users to try out both Firefox and Opera as they are both superior to IE and much safer overall. Use whichever suits you the best.
