The big difference between IE and Firefox is that IE allows ActiveX components to install, and Firefox doesn't. Based on my understanding of how Firefox extensions work, it would be difficult to allow the same level of toxicity that an ActiveX control can achieve. This is a big, significant difference, I think.
