I like both Firefox and IE. But IE is infront for me, the only reason being compatability. A few sites i goto screw up / embedded media etc dont work in Firefox.

My Firefox isn't that great, don't see much difference other than layout[which I'm not used to] and it doesn't have any bookmarks moved over like it said. IE has never been a problem for me.

Mozilla Firefox loads faster IMO b/c it saves the contents of the sites you go to, which can be emptied out by going to Tools, Options, Clear All. Overall, Mozilla is more safer than IE and doesnt allow pop ups (unless u specify it)

Ill agree with firefox being better on a computer that is using an OS lower than XP. With IE in XP, it has all of the features that mozilla has, and has better compatibility and faster load time.

I was told that IE was recently cracked or something and a load of credit card numbers were lost. So I guess that might answer the question about Firefox being safer than IE.

I have both IE and Firefox. I've been using FF more and more lately. Once you get to using it, you'll see that it does more than IE ever thought of doing. Plus, when Microsoft said that internet users should look for an alternative to IE due to security reasons, it made me think twice. Bill Gates does say things like that without a reason...
