I doubt very much any real threat will happen to Firefox. Firefox is ver popular lately and driving people away from IE

That is very dangerous thinking. Dr. Tandem is 100% correct. IE has over 85% merket share, and I imagine it will be that way for quite a while.
Malware writers, who program the adware, get big money for reaching lots of people, and therefore target the most popular browsers and operating systems.
Firefox and Gecko based browsers have all sorts off vulnerabilities and holes, they have more alerts on Secuna for Mozilla than any others:
