Firefox or Internet Explorer?

Question

I don't see the difference in the two, can someone explain?

Answer 1

Firefox Is faster, (Especially while using Firefox 3.5 rc2) More secure, and more customizable Somehow, IE got add-on, however, you need to pay for some of them, download McAfee Siteadvisor at this link for more security: http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and use this add-on(Firedownload) for even faster downloads: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/10615/platform:5/addon-10615-latest.xpi I hope this help.

Answer 2

Now you can see some of the actual differences between Firefox

and Internet Explorer 6. Firefox allows you to surf the Internet

safer and faster, and it displays the Internet the way that it was

intended to be. Firefox also gives you more web page viewing

space so that you can see more than you would with other

browsers. The main difference that you'll see is that

Internet Explorer has gray behind its images, Firefox doesn't.



View the differences for yourself, then Get Firefox, it's free.

Hi Mezarkabul,

Microsoft IE intends to add ‘private browsing’ to its version 8 of Internet Explorer by allowing the user to prevent the caching of personal information. The comment about Mozilla.org not having nor even thinking about adding such feature to Firefox is disingenuous and shows that the author must not have used Firefox very much. Mozilla Firefox ( at least from 2.0 on - possibly older versions too ) has a setting option to prevent any site ( any is in all being denied or only selected sites ) from being ALLOWED to set cookies. It’s under “Tools”, “Options”, “Privacy”, Cookies - “Exceptions”. You also have control over other aspects of content. If you install the FREE “NoScript” plugin extension, you will have that much more control over which sites are allowed to execute scripts ( and also Flash Objects ).



Firefox was built with the security of the user’s(s’) data security in mind. Not perfect, but better than anything Microsoft has come up with! Mozilla Firefox gives the user much more control over content and access to the user’s computer from and by the internet than Microsoft Internet Explorer would ever think of. Plus, the folks at Mozilla respond to security-related concerns and “bugs” very quickly; much faster than Microsoft has done. Mozilla also responds more quickly to the user’s(s’) requests than Microsoft has.



The only bash I have on Firefox is that the windows version ignores your system security settings if you are managing an network of public accessible computers. There again, maybe a savvy programmer can write a plugin extension to deal with that issue.





So, Firefox is FASTER,SAFER,EASIER.

Answer 4

Firefox is faster, more secure, is more customizable and has more features.



Just FYI, Safari is the fastest browser at the moment. And it's pretty secure. I'm a PC enthusiast and dislike Macs but for now, Safari is my browser of choice. Once Firefox 3.5 comes out of Beta, though, I'll be switching to that for an all-around better browser.



Good luck with your little browser dilemma! =)

Answer 7

Firefox. Because it is more secure, has better addons, and better features.



Most important, using the Adblock plus plug in for Firefox gets rid of ads, and the Noscript plugin prevents scripts from risking your system security.
