By virtue of nihi support of ActiveX, and the fact it's more difficult to add BHOs sans authorisation, I'd hazard that in that respect, FX will ALWAYS be better than IE. In terms of holes, it's probably as vulnerable, but FX holes will be quicker fixed because of the open-source nature of the browser.

Plus I like FX. It's fast and easy to get themes/extensions for it. I also like the interface.
