There have now been more flaws in the Firefox browser this year than in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer – the browser that Firefox is aiming to take market share from.

Firefox's repeated updates mean users have to keep re-installing a whole new browser every time an update is released.

Mozilla is currently developing a browser update system to allow users to add just the updates in the same way Internet Explorer users can install theirs.
