That's hairsplitting...

Worthy of Firefox fanboy. It's know fact that Firefox has more vulnerabilities than WebKit-based browsers. May be they are less severe, may be not. That is not the point. The point is: number of vulnerabilities in Firefox and WebKit-based browsers are of the same order. It's not like OpenBSD vs Linux comparison: one side has hundreds of potential vulnerabilities, the other one - just a handful ("ten over last ten years" or something like that). Here both sides have sizable number and these vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild and will surely be exploited in the future. No reason for WebKit developers to feel smug and not reason for Firefox developers to fret over statistic.
