serious ? these if I understand correctly merely crash your browser nothing
perticularly serious about that.

Granted no browser will be without flaws so there is  probably heaps of
stuff to be found in mozilla aswell, but remote code execution??
I dont believe there has been a single flaw in netscape or mozilla that
allowed you to execute code simply by putting together some javascript
(you can correct me on this) even when it was the dominant browser and
legendary guys like george guninski roamed the streets.
Sure it will probably have stuff like overflows, nearly everything does

but particularly ActiveX is just utterly insane and makes you want to bang
your head against a brick wall screaming what the hell where they thinking
