"Mozilla Firefox users are most secure on the Internet, according to a new web study appeared in media reported on Thursday.

The study - a collaborative effort by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Google and IBM Internet Security Services - found that failure to update browsers exponentially increased the chance for remote attacks executed by hackers, but some 60 percent (59.1) of people used up-to-date, fully patched Web browsers.

Firefox users were far and away the most likely to use the latest version, with an overwhelming 83.3 percent running an updated browser on any given day.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's Internet Explorer users ranked last in terms of safe browsing."

In other Firefox news, Mozilla's web browser has become the Guinness World Records most downloaded software in one day.
