Alright, Firefox basically is Open source, allowing people to edit the code, and thus it is much more secure. Also, this makes it have better features such as using less memory, and it is also much, much faster than Internet Explorer. If what you are going for is speed, and you have a considerable amount of space, You might like Safari, which is very slightly faster than Firefox. However, Firefox has addons and you can program it to your needs and specifications using Greasemonkey. So who reigns supreme? In my view, Firefox owns every other browser. Also, it won a guiness world record for most downloads in a day.

It depends on usage.

If you go to inappropriate sites, there is a high probability that you will be hit, no matter what.

No questions asked. Definitely Firefox is the way to go.

Firstly, IE is not conforming to the web standards. Web designers will understand the problems when working with IE as compared to FireFox.

In terms of browsing the web, I feel that FireFox is faster and less prone to malware attacks, unlike IE which will always hang on you.

Plus FIreFox has many more Add-ons then IE which can help in your download speeds and many more.

Just my thought!

Hmm, I do remember reading an article during one of my modules that Firefox is indeed more exploit prone than IE. But the advantage that FF has over IE is that their response time for bug fixes are way faster.And I like the fact that you can get all sorts of add-ons for FF, which allows you to do all sorts of wonderful things.

According to this 2007 report by vulnerability analysis company Secunia:

“[I]n an examination of zero-day flaws - reported by third parties before a patch was available - Secunia found that Firefox tended to get more patches, sooner, compared to IE.”

“Out of eight zero-day bugs reported for Firefox in 2007, five have been patched, three of those in just over a week. Out of 10 zero-day IE bugs, only three were patched and the shortest patch time was 85 days.”

Firefox is safe as long as you install some addons to protect it. Firefox by itself is very exploit-prone, like IE. Just that ActiveX won't affect it.

However, JavaScript can affect any browser badly. With lots of exploits using JavaScripts + Flash, no browser is immuned these days.

i still use IE, because IE is still more compatible with more website than any other browsers.

For other browsers, i will prefer Opera, it doesnt lag and nvr jam on me once.

and i installed Windows 95 at one point of time....and the latest version of Opera can still be installed with Windows 95....Windows 95 had only IE3 installed with it and IE3 can no longer support most websites anymore.....not even IE 5.5 (which still had some cork up when i sufed some websites) and is the last version of IE series dat supports Windows 95.

For vista, i have only been using IE.

On one laptop, it is using the IE pro addon.

So far, I dont have much problems with pop ups nor have i been hit by malware, spyware since about 2 years ago.

It depends on your usage and what kind of sites you surf.

For eg: Those Game ranking top 100s do pop up lots of websites and direct you to unknown webpages.

TO newcomer: For IE, turn the Protected mode on. Set the different kinds of secuirty mode. I set mine to med-high.

You can do so by clicking on options, Internet options then go to the security tab.

What pop-up are you referring to? And tabbed browsing can be disabled easily in Firefox 3.

I trust firefox, internet explorer is too prone to spyware/adware and toolbar installations without your prior acknowledgement less say agreement.

Firefox has more shortcuts(which the new IE has included)..
