Articles recommend Firefox over Internet Explorer

I came across several articles in prominent publications recommending (or citing recommendations for) Firefox over Internet Explorer.

• Feds warn against Microsoft's browser
• Are the browser wars back? How Mozilla's Firefox trumps Internet Explorer.
  
  An excerpt:
  
  Scob didn't get me, but it was enough to make me ditch Explorer in favor of the much less vulnerable Firefox browser. Firefox is built and distributed free by the Mozilla Organization, a small nonprofit corporation spun off last year from the fast-fading remnants of Netscape, which was absorbed by AOL in 1999. Firefox development and testing are mostly done by about a dozen Mozilla employees, plus a few dozen others at companies like IBM, Sun, and Red Hat. I've been using it for a week now, and I've all but forgotten about Explorer.
• Microsoft haunted by old security flaw
