For Firefox it was nine days I think, but that's still not a patch on Microsoft's appalling security situation.

I just switched to firefox (at least temporarily). I like the way that the text editor widget work much better. Integrated spell checker is a huge plus!
I'm missing tabs for more that one page at a time ant a "Stop" button. Just a few things after only a couple of minutes poking around.

Found those - missing multiple home pages.

Multiple home pages. Open the home pages in tabs. Then tools->options->general and select "use current pages"

Yep. I misread the "one period" as one day but, like you said, 284:9 is no better.
