There it is in a nutshell.
Who mostly uses Firefox? People who know a little about computers and are willing to try something different. These are also the people who would be aware of the threat of viruses and malware and would take precautions.
The majority of people online use IE because it comes with Windows, and they look at the internet as an electronic playground with no clue as to how to protect themselves. "Antivirus? Oh yeah, my computer came with it when I bought three years ago. What do you mean, renew it?"
