The real question is what about released products: Firefox 3.0 vs. IE7. How many showstopper bugs are in these officially supported versions? (Yes, I realize that Chrome was just taken out of beta, but I suspect that the testing was done while it was in beta).

Firefox has source code for bughunters to scrutinise. IE should also disclose the source code for fair ground comparison. Also, in terms of number of features, Firefox > Chrome > IE. Let all browsers have equal number of features, then we see who has more bugs. The fact that Chrome has more bugs than Firefox testify that despite that Firefox has more features (Add-ons support, private browsing, RSS, etc).
