Its more secure because thre are far fewer users of it, not to mention its open source. That being said I have updated it.

Ah, I see you buy into the Microsoft FUD that MS software is only insecure because its popular.
Would you keep your Money in a bank that was robbed daily because the claim they were popular, while they never bother locking the vault door, or even having a vault in the first place?
Where did you get the idea that because something is popular it has to be a security sieve?
I'd really like to know - because that's Bill Gates' favorite excuse. But then, Bill has the honor of having the only browser that the Dept of Homeland Security recommends you NOT use:

The security of the code has nothing to do with the number of people using it. Mozilla tends to be far more secure than Internet Explorer because it's been designed with security in mind, and because it's not so tightly integrated into the OS as to bring about the end of the security world for a computer whenever a small security flaw is found.
