A friend of mine who supports IE and detests FF sent in the following link, Firefox Myths, which opens as follows:

"Myth (Definition)—'A fiction or half-truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology.'
While Firefox is a decent Web Browser, there are numerous Myths floating around the Internet regarding it. Hopefully this site will debunk some of these.

"We have all seen these banners before or heard people say 'Firefox is Faster, Firefox has Lower Requirements, Firefox is Secure, Firefox defends me from all Spyware, etc.' How misleading is it? Read on."

While I like and stand by Firefox, this is a great site [though sometimes painful], because it provides examples and sources for all of its claims. Anyone who uses Firefox and preaches about it [i.e. people like me] should read these myths and remember [a] open source doesn't automatically mean good and [b] don't believe the hype. The labs are about the facts.
