Firefox vs Internet exploirer

i dunno, i kinda like firefox, i get much more less spyware, IE is like a magnet for them, no offense to IE fans, IE 6.0 sux, dunno how 7.0 works
 
After learning of an IE source code leak that could lead to fatal viruses when you load a jpeg, I swtiched to Firefox (this was quite some time ago). I loved firefox, it was easy to use, it blocked popups, etc, and i dont have to reopen it everytime i want to browse multiple pages at once, i just open a new tab. recently (last month), i switched to Opera, and I like it just a little better, because if I close a tab accidentally, there is a 'trash' bin where the page is stored. Also, if I close Opera while tabs are open, when I open Opera again those tabs will still be there.

I use Firefox for security, features, portability, and speed. Well, they dropped IE for Mac, and there never was an IE for *NIX, so that's strike one, anyway. Although, supposedly Vista (or a flavor thereof) will natively run *NIX software, so they seem to be going back to the same philosophy they had with UNIX back in the Windows NT days. Anyway, IE 7 looks to have the security people need, BUT I have a bad feeling IE 7 security will be the same as IE 6 security, where the security is there, but any script kiddie with an internet connection can find 1024 ways to get around it. Speed is narrowing between the two, but Firefox 2.0a1 seems to be giving IE a run for its money already, and it's an alpha. IE 7 includes something similar to extensions, not including the already available tabs and VERY firefox-ish search bar, but the majority of the extensions cost, and that is stupid. Not that it would work, but still... M$ has finally gotten their game on, but it seems to be too little too late at the moment. There are too many people who don't want Vista (even if they could get it, it seems), so are stuck with IE 6, so they switch to Firefox.
 
yay firefox! i love the extensions (even though i completely forgot the existed until just recently), especially FasterFox, Adblocker Plus, and the extension for mouse gestures. makes browsing fast, ad-free, and fun!

BTW: robina, why didn't you just use the edit button...?

Don't forget how they butchered up the interface. That's what you get when you try to copy *NIX, Firefox, AND Safari at the same time.
