Criticality level is determined based on the type of vulnerability, code execution/machine access rate at high and extreme criticality. Any and all security alerts are filed under system access by default. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/12434/?task=advisories_2008 IE has more unpatched vulnerabilities, but the reason they're unpatched is they're so insubstantial in the effect they have on the user that they aren't worth fixing. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/12366/?task=advisories_2008 As far as critical security alerts, they are identical, primarily because it was the introduction of new attack methods that effected all browsers, not just firefox or ie.
