To summarise it in a nutshell:  You don't have to be able to exploit the
OS to be able to exploit the person using it.

And there's the problem with pages which, while (perhaps) not directly
trying to do something to your computer, are so badly coded that their
page causes Firefox to run your CPU at full throttle.  Making it near
impossible to do anything with your computer.
