Firefox is awesome...
It's easy to use immediatly, and for those who are curious about things:
It puts the power back in the hands of the browser (user). You can change Everything! How it looks, how it acts, how it shows sites... There are add-ons that can do anything you can think of.
Two free add-ons and you'll never see a banner ad, a flash ad or any other kind of image ad. If you find something it missed you can block it forever.
There are add-ons to control your music player, block JavaScript for all sites until you say it's ok... There are add-ons that let you apply custom CSS to specific sites to change the layout to how You want... the list goes on ... and on... and on...
You can make Firefox like Fort Knox in 1/2 an hour - and it's already more secure than IE in quite a few ways - it doesn't let programs automatically install, it won't allow ActiveX to run - a serious security risk. It blocks pop-ups from the beginning, it will copy over your IE bookmarks, cookies, etc. when you install it... or when you ask it to.
Firefox shows sites the way the standards say they should be shown. This is a good thing... except there are sites that are built badly and Firefox will show they're built badly.
I haven't found a reason Not to try Firefox...

A pretty unclear question. "What do you know about life..." would at least cover some philosophical aspect. Regardless, if you ask from functionality and compatibility point of view, I like firefox better since it doesn't crash as often as IE and works with most websites that I access. There are irregularities though, and sometimes the text/pictures might seem inverted and certain scripts that have been fine-tuned for IE will not work with IE.

No more pop-ups! u can block java with Scriptblock, or AD's with ADblock, some web pages don't show up right at times, and yahoo music doesnt work!, but it's safer then explorer! and sometimes faster (use FasterFox addon)
