most of the recent holes have been patched quickly. ie is slowly getting better at that , the new ie has all the features of firefox , is faster and works. Firefox has open holes right now ( i.e. has a few too ) , but in comparison to users firefox isnt much better for security. if they gain market share they will gain exploits 2
i use i.e. 99% of the time have for years , i only use firefox to see if things works properly ( and they never do )
