hm, this sort of thread is being started elsewhere and the answer is 98% known even before members started to vote. They may think that its not worth voting also.. because firefox rocks and rules. However though firefox rules it is difficult to compete internet explorer simply because the browser comes with operating system and many plugins are already installed... whereas missing plugins are frequent in firefox. And recently I heard that yahoo is trying to create their website which will not support firefox. let both exist for good.

Firefox rules up the wazzu and we all know that. I don't know anyone that likes IE after they've tried Firefox. The only reason I still have IE installed is for IE specific pages (da...rn those website creators to he..ck), and I also keep it because some parts and programs in Windows XP depend on IE's ugly anus.

IE. Cause I cannot be bothered to get FireFox, and IE 6 is working fine on my pc. And Anyways, I.E - 7 BETA is coming out soon. Supposed to have the same/better firewall-spyware blocker as Firefox. - Can't wait. (And thats a BETA!)

I like firefox much much than the IE. Firefox is very fast we can use a lot of extensions and there are no virus or spyware in it comparing to IE.

Eh well...

They both have their pros and cons...

First, I like FireFox because it gives you over all basic protection, It blocks most worms and other things, but then again it also lacks alot and is just a basic browser...

Then again I like Internet Explorer because it has most of the plugins already installed making it easier to view videos, listen to music, and use most of the general things...

thats my 2 cents in the subject...

wow, this is becoming a repetitive topics. Its posted again and again like every week. Well, once again i will say, it like both. They both have benefits and problems. IE, for example, probably is more compatible with website because of its popularity. Firefox, is amazing when makin a website because of the DOM editor and javascript debugger. So like i said, i like both but which one i use just depends on what i am going to go do.

In my opinion, I think that Mozilla firefox is a much more better browser to go with, but then depending what you are doing, IE might be better.

Firefox blocks all AvtiveX acripts from running, because a lot of scripts can hi-jack IE, like change your homepage, run macillious programs on your computer, installs spyware, etc... It also has a convient featureL tabbed browsing, which means that you can view different windows in one main window, it places tabs at the top of the page. Aother feature that I like is the BookMarks menu.

IE might be better for you, because you might need to run the occasional ActiveX script. But before running anything with IE, I recommend doing windows updates (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) so it applies all of the latest security patches for IE, so it reduces the chance of any security breach.

Anyways, I recommend Firefox if you dont use ActiveX.

There are many reasons to change to Firefox

1.:They have many many skins, and they all look cool and professional

2.:Firefox is up to 300 percent faster than Internet Explorer

3.:Internet Explorer has a good Popup-Blocker in Service Pack 2, but it still isn't as good as the one in Firefox

4.:Firefox is safer than IE

5.: It is easier to handle with Firefox

6.:Firefox has the option "Tabbed Browsing"

7.:Firefox is FREE

You already know the results of these kinds of polls before posting them... Firefox always wins because... Firefox just is the best with the tabbed browsing, much cool plug ins, much cool skins, fast speeds, searching for whatever can be done with it and much more.
Even if (Just if) Internet Explorer 7 is better, it would get beaten by firefox soon enough.

    Hi again! Recently I noticed that IE and FireFox display table layouts in different ways. It is a
    headache for web designer to add some compatibility for the issue. Currently I have some problems
    using tables in my website. For example FireFox adds 3-4 pixels to my table width where IE display

  11. Firefox 2 To Firefox 3 - Is It Worth Upgrading?
    Let's settle this matter once and for all. (64)
    I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
    problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
    so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
    been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
    break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
    downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....
  12. Firefox 3 Sucks - Time For Another Browser

    No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite

    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history

  14. Your Firefox Cache
    Do you know where it is ? (3)
    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the disk
    cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary internet
    files in IE. Use the quick find function by pressing / (forward slash) and type i....
  15. Firefox Greasemonkey - Invision Board Tool For Warning
    IPB warning shortcut (7)

    commonly used warning messages and have it as pull-down menu style when issuing a warning. Very
    cool! The simple thing about this extension is how easy to modify to fit your needs. This
    extension, called IPB Moderator Reasonator (

    warning page. Installation is very simple. After the in....

    just can't compete with turn based yet. Yet just look at trap17.com forums, no turn based
    subforum for game like civilization 1-4, heroes of might and magic1-5, lords of the realm1-3 among
    some popular ones. I'm glad at least they put a forum for the turn based strategy Army System

  21. Ie And Firefox Crash
    Flash & Download problems (5)

    it just shows a still picture. I went into the internet options and enabled flahs and stuff and it
    doesn't show the animation. I even got the newest version of Flash. Firefox doesn't crash as
    much as IE but it does from time to time. I have ran spyware and virus software and nothing comes
