So far in its short life its had almost as many serious security holes as IE. I'm really not holding my breath waiting for the developers of either browser to suddenly change their almost decade long pattern of producing flawed browsers (The Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox team has never proven it is capable of this with any of its offerings, and the only thing IE's developers have proven is that they are a hacker's best friend).

The consensus seems to be that almost anything is more secure than Internet Explorer.
