"A new study has shown Firefox users are the most likely to have fully 
patched browsers and thus be safer online.

The 18 month study, by researchers at the Swiss Computer Engineering and 
Networks Laboratory, IBM and Google, found that 83.3 per cent of Firefox 
users, 65.3 per cent of Safari users, 56.1 per cent of Opera users, and 
47.6 per cent of Internet Explorer (IE) users were using fully patched 
browsers."
