Well I mainly use FF but I can't say I've ever had a particular problem with IE either, and the security on v7 is supposed to be much improved.
Hackers target IE because it offers the greatest number of possible victims. Personally I think that if FF had anywhere near the number of users as IE then it would attract as many attacks. And remember that FF has to be updated periodically as well.
What I find a bit annoying is that people are far more likely to attack MS for attacks on IE than they are to attack the w*****s and acne-ridden script-kiddies that carry out attacks in the first place.
