I prefer firefox without a doubt. IE doesn't even match up to it.

Firefox here also.. because IE browser can be crashed and it is prone to trojans and other viruses and malicious files unlike firefox has automatic blocker... you can add sites that are trusted and not trusted...

Firefox is better. But you still probably want to leave IE installed. You can't download microsoft updates on firefox. And some websites (very few) don't display correctly in firefox and/or let you do downloads. But firefox is definitely better.

I Prefer Firefox.

---------------------
But there's a new browser from the makers of Mozilla, called Firefox, that's getting lots of attention--and not just from the geeky set. The Mozilla Foundation open source project, which is funded by Time Warner, IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ) and Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: SUNW - news - people ), launched Firefox version 0.9 on June 15. Firefox 1.0 is due out by early November.

"For the first time in a while, we're seeing real momentum behind a browser other than IE," says Steve O'Grady, an analyst at enterprise software outfit Redmonk, based in Bath, Me. "Consumers are starting to use Firefox, and that has developers considering both platforms when they're building Web sites."

Internet users began switching in earnest during the summer after several security problems emerged with IE, which of course is built into Microsoft's ubiquitous Windows operating system. Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) issued a patch for Windows XP, that platform's most recent iteration, but users complain that IE hasn't truly been updated since 2001. Anyone using Windows 98 or Windows 2000 who wants the most secure system has to upgrade to XP and download the patch, called Service Pack 2.

"Starting this summer we've been getting between 200,000 and 300,000 downloads a day," says Mozilla's director of engineering, Chris Hofmann. That's up from an average of about 70,000 daily downloads. Hofmann estimates that Mozilla and Firefox browsers have a total of about 25 million users.

Firefox is lauded by fans for its download speed and a superior user interface, and users say that its pop-up blocker is one of the best out there. It offers tabbed browsing, which means that users can jump back and forth between different sites with only one window open, and live bookmarks, which show users the most recent headlines on their favorite sites and lets them go directly to those articles.

Newbie with first post,I downloaded Firefox because I was told that my Frontpage site was all screwy in it and it was certainly true, the speed that Firefox loads is far better than IE. I have only ever used IE before and was amazed by the difference, I for one now only use Firefox although I havn't deleted IE yet.

I use Mozilla Firefox. In my opinion, firefox is the best web browser. It is very user friendly. This web browser is faster, more secure, and fully customizable to online life. Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and a search system that uses Google. Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and many other Unix-like operating systems.
