Dude i use both IE 7 and Firefox 2, Firefox is good in security, rendering, password management, and the best of all you can make it have multiple functionalities with thousands of addons.
But IE 7 has as good security as Firefox does, but looks way cooler, it has a better rendering capability than firefox, making it slightly faster than firefox, also coming up with addons everyday, the choice is yours in the end

Brian Krebs at the Washington Post's Security Fix blog wanted to put together some statistics on how long it took major software providers to fix vulnerabilities last year. He started with Microsoft, and found that Internet Explorer was vulnerable to critical flaws for a total of 284 days. That's more than 9 months.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2007/01/internet_explorer_unsafe_for_2.html
In fact, there were at least 98 days when Microsoft had not issued a fix even though criminals were actively exploiting some of those flaws to grab personal data from Internet Explorer users.
Krebs says he ran his data by Microsoft before posting it on the blog, and that aside from some minor issues, the company didn't bring up anything that would change the overall finding.
By comparison, Firefox was only vulnerable to a serious security threat for one 9 day period last year. What's interesting is that for 2006, Opera 8 and Opera 9 didn't suffer from a single extremely critical vulnerability as classified by Secunia (although both did suffer a single highly critical vulnerability)

I use a Mac, and find Firefox and Safari both superior to Explorer. I think it depends on where you spend your time. MS sites may work better with IE. I use Firefox when Safari isn't supported. No problems. Clean and fast.
