If you want to use some sensationalist headline as the basis for your 
security needs, go right ahead.

You might, however,  want to consider a more rational approach:

IE:      79 Secunia Advisories (one or more rated Highly critical)
Firefox: 13 Secunia Advisories (one or more rated Less critical)

Source:

http://secunia.com/product/4227/

Seems like a no-brainer decision to me. ;-)
