Too true. I just cleaned out my mother-in-law's (fully patched XP SP 2) computer. When asked "Would you like to see your weather updated to the minute?!" she said "yes". When asked "Would you like your clock updated to the second?!" she said "yes". When asked "Would you like to be able to search faster and better and smarter?!" she said "yes". When a flashing ad claimed "We've detected malicious software on your computer, click here to repair it!" she clicked. How would FireFox prevent that? (Please let's also remember that I myself am a FireFox user, tho' not exclusively by any means. I like it. I promote it. I just don't worship it.)
