I feel that the issue here is not the total vulnerabilities found in either of the browsers, but really boils down to the popularity of the software. As FF becomes more widely used, and gets even remotely close to taking a cut of what is undoubtably an MS based market, we will see more flaws exposed in the browser. More people will begin to look for flaws in the FF software just as millions look for vulnerabilites in most of MS products, due to the dominance in market share and 'closed book' source code. While FF is open source, the bigger it gets, the bigger "prize" it becomes for flaw finders.
