Firefox is better for me while it is faster and simple than MS IE.
In addition, there are a lot of plugins for Firefox, that doing my life easier.
As for IE - most people use it just because it is standard, and they do not care what program is better. But some other people really love IE.
I recommend you to install both and use them for a month. Then select what as you feel is better for you.

Both have pros and cons.
Firefox
1) Tons of plugins
2) Easy to use options
3) Tons of tweaks at "about:config " (in address bar)
4) Not as secure as people think
5) Works for most sites
6) Slightly slower
IE
1) Trustworthy MS coding
2) Isnt a million kids making legit looking, possibly harmful addins like for firefox.
3) Much more compatable with streaming media (from netflix movie clips for example)
4) Updates with windows update
5) Works on all sites
6) Slightly faster (probably +15%) on downloads
In other words, I use both. Firefox for common browsing, and Internet Explorer for when im at secure sites, or logged into somewhere important such as capitalone.com, or netflix...
However, I have been finding myself using IE more often, because Firefox dosent work for me watching yahoo videos & a handful of other multimedia sites.
So firefox rising to fill IE's shortcomings, only fueled IE to develop harder and stronger. So we may soon see IE step back up to the plate offering everything + more...

i could say stay faraway from IE. suited selections are Firefox and Chrome. I used to apply Firefox and that i really loved it. It replaced right into slightly frustrating on my computer, so I replaced to Chrome and that i'm completely pleased with it too. I were given used to it particularly speedy. even besides the undeniable fact that I say Firefox places heavy load on my computer, that would not happen till I open up 20-30 Tabs with videos or something that desires to load. i do not have that difficulty with Chrome. in the present day, i imagine Chrome is more effective acceptable and if I were you i could bypass with it. also the newest Firefox's interface is grotesque and impractical as well.

Firefox is more secure, and I love the tabbed browsing. It seems Microsoft is releasing Internet Explorer 7 as a beta version, so it might be better.
A lot of sites are only viewable in Internet Explorer, but I suggest you only use it if it doesn't work on Firefox, otherwise you should use Firefox, as it is more secure.

people say firefox is adware and spyware free. but why do we have to think internet explorer is not good. it is made by microsoft. so it is the best and most compatible to windows. all most all the websites are compatible to ie. if you have to install some active x scripts, you have to keep on shifting to internet explorer. it is the best to use as both windows and it are made by microsoft. ie is much faster than firefox(very slow). you can use many toolbars only in ie.only google provides firefox version.
