One of the main reasons why Firefox is loved over Internet Explorer is because of Firefox's extensions. Extensions extend the user's browsing experience. Since you mention Internet Explorer 6, another reason is because of the tabbed browsing, where it places all opened webpages into one window. Others like the fact that it is standards compliant—mostly web developers. I use Firefox for its error console. But Opera is my #1 browser.
Firefox is unbeatable when it comes to speed surfing. Opera is next i guess. IE is the least of my choice because, unless all the images, scripts, links etc are loaded by the browser, the page would not show. Not very good for slow internet connections.
Hi,
I found out an interesting detailed review of many a browsers and I think it is interesting to learn that Firefox Mozilla is the best of the browsers available. You may like to visit http://www.browsers-review.com and check out as to what they say about Mozilla. Happy Holidays!
The most frustrating thing about all these browsers is that when you design a website, you have to make sure your scripts are compatible with each browser type. I didn't know when I started out at first, so I had to redesign my web pages a couple of times. For example, what appears to be a perfect page in Firefox could look really ridiculous in Internet Explorer, with frames all strewn around here and there. So now, I double check each page so that they work on all type of browsers. And since Mozilla Firefox is my no.1 choice, I'd always write at the bottom of the page "website optimized for Mozilla Firefox". And I've learned that a few of my website users have migrated to this browser.
 If you're comparing IE6 with any instance of Firefox (1, 2, or even 3 beta), you will already notice that Firefox supports tabbed browsing, extensions, themes, and is open source for anyone to edit and make better. So if you think about it, Firefox is a browser made by the people who use it. And who could make something better than the people who use the product themselves? Firefox, so far, has been rather secure compared to Internet Explorer. I'm still waiting for the day, however, that a hacker will knock Mac users off their high horses. The same applies for Firefox users. One problem with Firefox, however, is the fact that it just takes up too much memory. Right now, I'm running five tabs and Firefox 3 Beta 2 is taking up 127,000Kb, or about 124 MB of RAM off of a 1GB RAM machine. I hope that Firefox developers will find a way to nip that problem in the bud; however, no promising outcomes since the browser came out. Another problem, more towards the web designers, is that Firefox doesn't support some CSS properties that Internet Explorer enjoys. Not to mention what Polter said about having to design websites for multiple browsers... it's already a pain that you have to strive for a uniform look in any browser. I still use Firefox religiously though. 
Both the browsers IE and mozilla are good..But mozilla is generally known for its speed.I am Using mozilla firefox in my dekstop....it works well there.With mozilla if you intall greasemonkey then you can install user javascripts which could be used for various purposes,there are lot more addons in mozilla firefox and also it has got variety of themes.In mozilla firefox you could have thunderbrid,seamonkey....Which are really helpful.
I Used IE 6.0 .I think its speed is no where near to that of mozilla firefox... I would recommend you to use IE 7.0 or mozilla firefox latest versions. 
I would like to point out that Internet explorer does have plug-ins but the only problem is though the good ones you have to pay money for and some of start at a nice $20 and up. thus the reason why plug-ins for firefox are better because they are free.
rayzoredge what plug in do you have installed on FF3B2 because most of the plug-ins that are installed have not even been pushed to FF3 yet, now granted you could be using ones that I don't use. Right now I have 5 tabs open myself and I am hovering around 65,000L right now with like 5 active plug-ins, and of course I tweaked the memory as well to help lower it, and I know several posts have mentioned how to tweak it including the one I made on the FF3 topic. I am surprise no one mention why it so speedy is that it is more web standards compliant then IE 6 and 7. Again though as my teacher will say IE is still better in the database implementation, and on top of that IE will always be there until Microsoft goes out of business  . Although I wouldn't use IE7 just yet because many people still use IE6 and if you don't get your coding right you will never know like I just found that a website could look wrong in IE6.

I just have the usual set for viewing most web sites... Flash, Adobe Reader, DRM, QuickTime, and I just threw on Silverlight for kicks and giggles. (This is a work computer... so I don't care.) StumbleUpon is the only extension that made it past. Everything else got nix'd with the "upgrade."  My numbers are without the memory leak tweak, though. Then again, that tweak only takes effect once you have Firefox minimized... and I can't remember how well it works. (If I do remember correctly, it reduces down to 15MB of RAM or so minimized, but climbs back up when you go back to using it.) I just reformatted my personal laptop and have not got around to applying the memory leak fix or the other tweaks in the about:config file. I don't remember if they actually make a huge difference or not... but every bit helps.
Personally, I like Seamonkey better than Mozilla or Firefox, and I like Opera over that. But Opera isn't the best despite it's nice featureset. NoScript+Seamonkey is great. It has many of the features of opera (sans some things which I think would make better sense), but with the NoScript extension you get a nice amount of security as well.
IE is a hock of pumice - it keeps afloat for a while, but then it ends up sinking to rock bottom. It's a hunk of junk and web designers (including me) hate it. Firefox and many other browsers render pages much better that follow web standards without having to hack code, and are more extensible with a richer featureset and more security. Latest Entries

Yes IE7 is quite comparable to Firefox...but can't beat it in surfing speed and all the extensions it provides.Writing webpages to be compatible with all the browsers is quite cumbersome so if u write it for Firefox it will be easy and it is the most widely used browser. Another thing that it is open source so u can modify it to personalize. After Mozilla I think the next place goes to Opera.
I use to use IE too, but then when Firefox came out i switched because it had more features, it tabbed pages, has more extensions and you can customize it. Personally, i don't use IE anymore because i find Firefox more suitable for general web browsing. I still keep IE for testing my websites. I kind of like Apple Safari too because it really make the text and image cleaner, so that's another of my favorite. I haven't tried Opera as yet, but I'm going to get it because many people have been talking about it being a good option.
All these are good examples but also Firefox bringsa much safer and user friendly experience to browsing.
I would say firefox is better than Internet explorer. the feel and tools are better besides alot of new features internet explorer has have been copied from other browsers. which i dont like.
i have also used opera and safari. which are ok.
yeah i like mozilla.. you can't say its the best one. but its good.. i like it better the most, seeing how it loads some things first .. IE waits for everything to load then it loads, which annoys me cause im not sure if its even working or not lol
dnt noe, thats my opinion, dnt like opera or anything else , and mozilla has more functions. aka addons and stuff.
