your antivirus should still detect any VIRUS downloaded by any browser wether it's IE or FF. but seriously, why do you need an anti-virus for browsing?

Some people are more vulnerable to this than others. Generally speaking, anything that uses Flash is a potential way to get viruses into your computer. Some people frequently visit sites that contain a lot of flash and java plug-ins and such, so virus-protected browsing is a definite concern. If you don't even have flash or java installed and visit mostly text pages, then you probably aren't too vulnerable to viruses unless you download and run them.

One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and flesh
But strong in will
To seek, to strive, to find
And not to yield.
