It's not what IS in firefox, it is what ISN'T in firefox.
Internet Explorer has alot of features, features that are taken advantage of, like instant installation of plugins and searchbars and stuff. plus there isn't ActiveX in firefox. but in firefox, you need to WANT it to install it.
and yes Firefox has an extreamly effective pop-up blocker. i NEVER get pop-ups, and yet, i never have a problem with opening new windows and stuff. Firefox is pretty smart.
The only 2 websites I have a problem with firefox on are Windows Update, and LAUNCH
Believe me Firefox is THE BEST BROWSER ON EARTH!
1. Secure, No exploits.
2. Best pop-up blocker, doesn't block stuff you want, blocks stuff you don't want.
3. Sites LOOK better
4. More Features
5. Open-source
6. lots of great support, and developers that love to hear your ideas.
7. RSS feed reader build in (on newer nightly builds)
8. Customizable themes.
9. FREE (Really free, unlike exploder)
10. Runs on almost any OS: Win, Mac, Unix.
11. Thunderbird keeps your mailbox 99.99999999% SPAM free
12. Better text copying - keeps formatting, even if pasted into a plain text box. (like notepad)
13. Tabbed browsing - more than one page in 1 window, really useful for comparison shopping
14. copy image locations (great for forums)
15. secure password storage (encrypted and stuff, unlike IE)
Great "extentions":
Adblock - Blocks banner ads, based on URL and wildcards are allowed (so you can block "http://ads. (anything)" (makes loading sites faster)
Autofill - Autofill forms, and have multiple identitiys like "FAKE" and "REAL"
BugMeNot - a database of usernames and passwords for many sites, check out bugmenot.com
Download with - use download accelerator of your choice for downloads
Downthemall! - makes a complete copy of a website, includeing all the hyperlinks
GoggleBar - Searchbar for google
Linkification - Turns text urls, into clickable hyperlinks
