Different coding...Plus until recently IE is used by virtually everyone, techies and newbies alike...So it's preferred to target a broswer everyone is using rather than a select few...ActiveX has been a particular problem for IE...

It's not. People tend to attack Internet Explorer because it still has more users. Once everyone starts to use Firefox or another browser more you will find more security problems with it as people will be actually looking for the vulnerabilites.

Because it is open source.
If in a street there are two restaurants, they do the same food (i.e. Pizza). One shows the cook, the kitchen and how they prepare their food; the other has all closed.
What do you trust more? the one who shows you what they put in their food or the other that keeps all hidden?
So the only fact that you can take the source code, read it and, if you are skilled and lucky, you can find a bug ... this make the program more safe

This is not technical but the reason it is more secure is that it is not as tied into the OS as IE is.
