I don't use it(Firefox) for security. I just it for functionality. Tabbed Browsing. IE doesn't have that.

It is difficult to fairly compare the rates of reported vulnerabilities between Internet Explorer and Firefox, because they have dramatically different organizations behind them. One is Open Source, the other proprietary. There is likely much more aggressive and rapid reporting of vulnerabilities on the Open Source side.
