I stopped using IE two months ago and only use Firefox. How much
should I worry about getting the MS patches?

Why should anyone answer a spammer? Use the software for which you're
spamming and find out what happens for yourself.

Windows uses a lot of the IE support files for its own display purposes, so
IE bugs can indeed impact Windows even when using a different browsers.
Keep both updated.

*especially* core files like IE.

Do not assume if it is not in use, vulnerabilities are irrelevant.
Be sure you keep Firefox up to date.
