...and the fact that their code is unfortunately full of holes.

I'm glad Debian is holding their ground here for lots of important
reasons, but one of the side ones is that I worry from time to time that
Mozilla may give a bad name to what we are doing. With as many security
holes as have plagued Firefox, I worry that the unconnected masses may see
that as representative of free software as a whole.

And of course that large incidence rate of security issues is _bad_ when
combined with the unnecessary agony involved in maintaining old Firefox
trees.

Irony: The incidence of security flaws in Firefox may be large for a free software project, but it's still vastly superior to the default option on the operating system where most of Firefox's users apparently live.
