I do, too. I like the usability of its tab feature, and the fact that it has a built-in download manager so you can pause/resume downloads, but (like you) my main reason was to reduce my vulnerability to malware. (For the same reason, I use and recommend Thunderbird for e-mail, which refines its internal filters whenever you mark a message as being spam. So far, in the modest flow of spam I get at home, I've been lucky enough to have never had a false positive!) Personally, I haven't noticed better speed in Firefox than in IE. (Like Ryan, I keep IE for those IE-centric sites.)
