What is so great about Firefox?

It is just another internet connecter. It may have more or different features than explorer.

Firefox is better because

1 it works where IE doesn't

2 It's faster than IE

Websites can steal whatever you have on your clipboard using IE... IE doesn't have scriptblocker, so if you go onto a bad website, the website can use a script to reload the page over and over and duplicate the virus you can get. Firefox also uses adblock, so you don't get pop ups, and can block advertisements that you don't like to see...ChicaQueenWarGa

That's not really IE's fault, you really shouldn't go on any websites that look suspicious (example 'free porn, naruto anime, kittys,')

There are some nice features on FF, but I use IE for my daily needs.

Actually, it can go to ANY site. All the webperson needs to do is place a script. I found out about the clipboard thing when I was StumblingUpon stuff. I copied a sentence, and there it read, my sentence I copied.

My mom actually wasn't careful...She was searching a phone number, and it lead to a website. Of course, she clicked on it and it refreshed four times, and duplicated a virus four times. The virus wasn't harmful, but I cannot get it off the computer. I went to the same website with Firefox, and nothing happend because I was blocking script, and I blocked advertisements.

IE just has more flaws, and has more secruity issues than Firefox.

I don't know, but my computer came packed with Mcafee, and it had this site advisor that told you which websites are good and bad, I don't know if it comes with all pcs packed with windows xp/vista.

Absolutely right. That's why MF is way better.

So my mom should use that stupid mcafee every time before clicking on a link using IE? Seems stupid when you can go where ever you please with Firefox...IE fails and will NEVER live up to Firefox or surpass Firefox. Although, the only thing web designers can do is direct you to a "No firefox site" where it explains that they want money, and they don't like Firefox blocking the ads.

Right now, that is being debated. There's more information here.

I think IE is plain stupid, so I use Firefox and IE Tab.

On every computer I've been on with both Firefox and IE on them, Firefox seems to be faster. That's why I use it over IE.ff7fan2

I figured why it was faster. ^__^ Firefox loads the page as a whole while IE loads the advertisements first, then text, then everything else.

Well if your mom searched for things on google, than the site advisor shows a little icon next to the result and its either green(good) or red (bad), and no I don't think IE is plain stupid because it doesn't have ad blocker or spell check.

its just plain simple it doesn't suck worst than ieenix15

That's not plain and simple. It's obscure and complicated...

faster

extensions

I used to be an IE user until I hit those sweet Firefox add-ons. Go to the mozilla site and check em out, so many, so amazing.

Stumbleupon toolbar = amazing

I've used FF for a few years now and when I use IE I feel the need to vomit. I don't even know why...that's what is scary.FragStains

Yeah, i feel the same way too. It's really weird. :?

its just plain simple it doesn't suck worst than ieenix15

yep

At this point, the extensions.....Firefox has about just as many flaws as IE doesElBanano216

this is true but Opera doesnt work on GS....
