Apart from containing the tab feature, Firefox is 70% safer than IE. Since I've been using Firefox I have not had any single problem with viruses and spyware

It doesn't slow down my computer. It's a lot better than explorer and I can use tabs instead of having 5 open windows. It even blocks more ads, especially if you download the Adblock Plus extension which is free.

From my experience with firefox it's a really good browser, a lot of people prefer it over netscape or Internet Explorer. i for one would rather have Internet explorer.
Firefox doesn't slow down your computer at all :)

Firefox is a browser to replace Internet Explorer. FF is more secure, more stable and fully customizable to fit your needs. I would highly recommend it over IE.

Firefox is much faster than Internet Explorer...no contest even. It's much less risky as well. Just do it.

According to some, it's a better browser than IE. Less prone to viruses. You can download it and try it, if you don't like it go back to IE.
