Maybe it's time to switch to something more secure.. Like I.E.

I would do, but IE had the same problem..

It's delicious to watch from those of us in the "It's software. All software has security holes, the challenge is to get mitigations in place (including code reviews, threat models, software protections, etc) to ensure that they don't cause damage" camp.
