Other people still use other clients such as Opera, FireFox, Etc... But the majority still use IE, which in my opinion, will still be more prone to hacker attacks and whatnot.
The thing about firefox is not that it is necessarily less vulnerable, it is that the users are more frequently tech-savvy, and there are less of them. Were I a hacker, I'd definitely be targetting the largest and easiest to hit group as well. It just makes sense.

Also, Adblock is the best thing since Jesus.
