I recently had the "Kodak moment" where a leading expert over an
informal discussion opined that since a large number of Indian
e-Commerce websites are IE compliant (?) it means that Firefox and other
browsers are insecure. While in that particular case
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ and
http://www.mozilla.org/security/security-announcement.html did provide
information, it appears that this FUD of IE being "more secure" is going
to take time to be killed
