Why I use Firefox
I use Firefox on both Linux and Windows. I have adblock Plus and Flashblock installed, so flash only runs it I want it to, hence no sneak attacks.

I also do not use the Adobe reader for PDF files, I use Foxit! reader in Windows, and the built in PDF reader in Ubuntu. Once again, no problems, they don't run Javascript, Et. Al.

It's not perfect, nothing is, but with this combo in Linux, it is about as secure as I can get, and when I have to run Windows, it also works pretty well when used with a little common sense.
