No.

None of the Mozilla products are spyware, you have been badly misinformed I'm afraid. If anything, using a Mozilla based browser is likely to dramatically decrease the chances of spyware getting onto your computer.

Is Mozilla Firefox more secure than Internet Explorer?

Must be a plot by BillSoft. Seriously, Firefox is based on Netscape navigator and is probably the best browser available. It automatically kills 90% of popups and gives users control over cookies, downloads, and other functions. Once you try it you won't go back.
