firefox has had some security issues to. last one was an exploit that could fetch the content of your ram-memory. all of it. including passwords, documents you recently opened,...
so it's not that safe either, but it's better

but indeed, the more people use firefox, the more security issues will apear. it's always more interesting to make an exploit for a product that is used by millions of people than for one that's only used by thousands.
however, firefox is getting bigger & bigger, growing to the same popularity of ie now!
best thing would be to buy a mac, as they only represent 5% of the world computers, not even worth writing virusses for, hehe.
in the same way, their browser is one of the safest around.
