I really don't think that the fundamental security of FF is any better than IE, other than FF isn't tied so deeply into the OS. But FF isn't being as actively targeted as IE. One of the key reasons I use FF is because I see no need to paint a great big bullseye on my computer. When FF hits 25-30% market share, we'll see it become a bigger target. Then I'll move over to Opera, or some other browser that offers the feature set I like, but with less exposure to mallware.
I'm of the "security through obscurity is still security" school of thought.
