He said that Explorer can be programmed to only accept sites that you know are safe and that it would therefore run even better than Firefox would, and give you the same security as Firefox does, since it would be blocking all unproven sites from running their unproven features.
It just proved to me after this phone call (and your previous post) that Firefox is not worth my time.

Without having heard the conversation, Larry, it sounds like you got the "I don't know it so don't use it" speech. Firefox does allow you to open up permissions on specific sites, so it's a question of knowledge (or lack thereof).
Besides, didn't they say they supported FF on the site? Or am I just dis-remembering?
