    Nope it's a well known fact that more people use IE therefor more people attack IE because they are more likely to get a bigger rate of infection whether it be for the purpose of hacking, phishing or just causing grief and gaining "fame". Firefox has just as many holes if not more, it's just not in possession of enough of the market for malware writers to spend the time in writing their malware to attack it...

    Either way, Firefox > IE :)
    My TV is broken! :cry:
