ActiveX more than IE itself is the primary vulnerability in MS's web package. As for Firefox, it's been around for a couple of years now and is standing the test of time. As is Opera and others for that matter. I have yet to see a browser hijack in FF or Opera. Or popups from rogues lie Wintools. FF will always be a tighter package than IE unless you want to do the admin work. And most users don't, myself included.
