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.
