    The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

    Only if the person with access to the browser also has the master password for the browser.

    What percentage of Firefox users set a master password for their browser?
    What percentage of Firefox users know they need to do so?
