I use Firefox and IE8 about 50/50 and have gotten plenty of viruses using Firefox.

Plenty of viruses? Where the heck are you surfing? I've been "internetually active" since 1994 and have yet to catch a virus with any browser, Firefox or otherwise.

As something of a hobby, I put together websites for friends and family. I do quite a bit of surfing through directories looking for design ideas. One of the worst infections I've had was by the Vundo rootkit while using Firefox on a National Park Service website.

I'm glad for you.
