This is the case for my blog anyways…
Have you ever looked at your website’s analytics and noticed what browsers your visitors are using. This is pretty important because you want to be able to give your visitors a good on-site experience, especially on the browser of their choice. I was checking out my browser stats on Google Analytics and was a little surprised to see that FireFox had a larger share than Internet Explorer. This is probably because my visitors are fairly web savvy and enjoy all the extra add-ons and functionality of FireFox. I would expect similar results for other blogs and websites geared towards the tech/SEM sector.
Have a look at your stats and make sure your site is optimized for the Big 2.

Check out the results from Poll Daddy’s Latest Poll about Favorite Browsers:
I would say this is a consequence of your blog’s target audiance, which, as you said, is more web savvy. For that mather, if I look at my own blog that also covers web analytics (have a look! shamel.blogspot.com) I get about the same ratios (50/40). However, if I look at some other sites in very different fields (bookseller, travel, insurance, etc.), I get the more typical 80 to 90% IE, and about 10% Firefox.
Yeah I totally agree with you on the sites in different fields. I have seen the same 90/10 on many other sites too.
The results in our field are still very interesting.
