By nature, Internet Explorer with active x etc cannot be as secure as Firefox...
United States Computer Emergency Team:
"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies related to the IE domain/zone...ActiveX (etc)...It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser"

It will be interesting to see what the folks at Microsoft can cook up to improve what they already have.
On top of this, IE7 will still not support web standards, and this drives up the cost of web developing, leaving us consumers ultimately paying the bill.
Compare the results of the web standards test:
The test results are suppose to look like this:

Firefox 2 results:

IE7 results:

Opera results (perfect):

You can try the test here to see that I'm not bu11 sh1ting you:

My bet, when the final versions come out, Firefox will still be more secure simply because it uses different technologies.

this is a humorous ingredient, i replaced into basically dealing with this debate the different day. i in my opinion use Firefox as a results of customization. If Safari had the customization, then there is not any doubt i could use it over Firefox. i do no longer even difficulty with Chrome. Safari may be staggering and speedy and straightforward, yet for me, it seems that gruesome. My renowned area approximately Firefox is which you will replace the font in webpages, and not enable the cyber web pages come to a decision for themselves. This replaced into the finding out ingredient for me. for sure, Firefox has some subjects too. while are they going to make that suitable browser!!!

People used to tell me that firefox is better and IE has more hacker openings or whatever. But I run into a lot of problems web surfing and downloading from certain sites with firefox. I find out that as long as I keep my computer protected with a firewall, anti virus, and all the other necessities, I dont run into any problems with IE. And it always seems to do me good as long as I do my part.

there is nothing known as inferior bcoz firefox supports some extra features than IE. However let me tell you that IE is more popular than any other browser. 85% of the population of the entire world uses IE and 15% the rest.

I have not tried IE 7 yet, but I much prefer firefox. It has lots of interesting add ons, it is faster than IE 6. It also supports tab browsing.

Firefox is just so easy to use and way safer than IE. Tried the new IE but it seems worse than the last one
