Mozilla and Google are patching these
vulnerabilities BEFORE they're being exploited.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x (the one you mentioned)
has 0 unpatched vulnerabilites.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x has 0 unpatched
vulnerabilities.
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/19089/
Google Chrome 3.x has 0 unpatched
vulnerabilites
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/25720/
Amongst the older versions of both browsers, I
found a total of 6 unpatched vulnerbilities--
the highest rated is "Less Critical".
Compare this to Microsoft:
Internet Explorer 8.x 4 unpatched
vulnerabilites
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/21625/
Internet Explorer 7.x 11 unpatched
vulnerabilities
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/12366/
In both of those, the highest rating is
"Extremely Critical."
So yes they are all vulnerable. But, Mozilla
and Google FIX THEIR VULNERABILITIES in a
fairly rapid time. The only time Microsoft
fixes them is if they become highly publicized
because of an attack.
Google and Mozilla: Security issue == fix.
Microsoft. Bad Publicity == fix.
Have a great day:)
Patrick.
