That's kind of a misunderstanding of the term "security through obscurity".
IE is closed source, and is written to Microsoft specs, therefore IE takes a security through obscurity approach.
Firefox is open source and is written to open and independent specs. There is no obscurity at all. You are invited to look at the Firefox code to see whether you can find any security problems. And you are invited to fix them as well. Firefox bets that there are more "fixers" than "exploiters" in the world. So far it has proven out well.
Meanwhile Flint you have settled on technology from October 18, 2006, the last IE7 release, and is it even supported by Microsoft as a platform? Have you guys considered the end of life product cycle on it? If you run into something serious and call Microsoft, will they tell you to shove it? Will they tell GE to shove it? Good luck with all that, I guess.
