Firefox users could be infected to
If the script can spot a return user I'm sure it can spot a Firefox or alternate web browser user and send them to a page targeting exploits in that browser. There are also plug-ins for Firefox that use the IE engine in a tab to display active X websites when required that would make that Firefox user possibly open to an active X exploit.
Unfortunately the biggest exploit of them all that these guys rely on the most can never be patched by the OS and browser makers. That exploit is the stupidity and greed of a lot of web users!
