I use firefox for the extensions exclusively. Otherwise, I usually use Opera since it's really fast.

It's not that everything that google gives is gold. Though the searchengine giant advertises in favour of firefox, the drawbacks are many. For example, complex table layouts dont appear properly on firefox. have you tried it? We must not use firefox for the sake of "not using microsoft product". Explorer reigns because it deserves. I am not a microsoft person. I am a student.

However, you're comparing a base IE 7 installation running full security to a suped up (and against mozilla recommendations, as pipelining makes even medium range systems unstable) version of firefox.

Looking at a default setup with normal 4 pipe setup, and disabled ipv6, firefox runs like cold running dog excrement.

Personally, I've yet to see a page that IE7 wouldn't load legitimately faster than a better configured firefox browser on default. That is not counting the few I have, which have browser detect created delays through javascript, and sites that disable ie viewing altogether through this method, which is an absurd length to go to because you don't like a browser.

i use both firefox and internrt explorer but firefox is far better than than the internet explorer because firefox is fast easy to navigate and there are very good addons in firefox which can download videos from youtube and things like that, so East or West firefox is the best.

Firefox was not thought up by an 18-year-old! Well, maybe it was, in its really early days as Netscape Navigator. Remember when Netscape used to have the biggest market share? Then Microsoft started including IE free with its Windows OS, so people started moving to that. Netscape started losing its market share, and it got as desperate as to release its source code and rechristen itself Mozilla. (You can still see that in Mozilla and Seamonkey today. They both still use the original Netscape icons.)

Here's where the 18-year-old part might be true: Mozilla then branched off into Firefox and Thunderbird, which were web browsers and email clients. Seamonkey [Could be Iceape, but that's GNUzilla to you] was only released to continue the Mozilla series, but it doesn't get as much press.

I have tried many browsers but Well in my opinion Internet explorer 7 is the most appropriate one ....wel firefox has a problem that some of the web applications don't run on it and I have tried avant ....wel avant is good but it also has some pitfals specally with flashes so Internet explorer 7 is kind of nice one to use !!

i definetly like firefox the best, it plays videos the best, has add ons, and is in general more compatable, ie, and safari stink compared to it.... just imo

Between Firefox and Internet Explorer i choose Firefox beacause it is really fast, the tabs works like should work, it is secure and other things. The only "con" i have against firefox is that it takes some pretty time to load.
Internet Explorer is really unestable when i open many tabs at time.
About Firefox 3, i dont like very much, it has many things i dont use. I only use the browser to "browse the web", not to rank all the pages i visit.

I prefer Firefox for sure. IE is somehow has many security issues. This security terms scare me. Even Microsoft change the UI on IE7, I just don't like it a lot.

I'm now checking on Flock, A social networking web browser based on same engine of Firefox. Also, Firefox has tons of add-ons. That will make Firefox so flexible.

Ok, I currently use Firefox 3 because I think it has the most features, security and it is fast!

Internet Explorer (Windows)-

This is build into Windows when you first turn on your computer. I think it starts up fast, but has a few flaws- which I will reach in a minute. The things that I like are the fact that there is no need to download it and well, it starts up fast. Ok, now the flaws: bad security, updates take forever, slow, non-customizable, and it is slow- did I already mention that?
I hate IE.

Mozilla Firefox (Most OS's)-

Firefox is a browser that requires a very small download and a fast install. It has a lot of add-on functions and it is very easy to use. It has enhanced security features and it's really customizable. It is really fast, and it can be tweaked to become faster. It has easy to use tabs and it loads Java really quickly. It blocks most pop-ups so that I don't have to deal with them. Oh, and another thing, most websites recommend that you view their site in Firefox. So, Firefox displays websites the best. Firefox, as mentioned above, is on most OS's including Solaris- an unknown one that I don't use. Flaws: some websites don't display correctly because they weren't updated, and some add-ons from previous versions won't work. But they can be updated easily. Firefox is a great browser, and I currently use it.
I love FF.
