Firefox is better because:
The page rendering is faster, so, the user experience is good
Its secure, unlike IE, Firefox does not copy clipboard information,
hence malicious sites cannot have a view to your clip-board
Those are 2 things that I would want to use Firefox.

Almost all viruses are geared to interfere with Internet Explorer since it's a mandatory program with all the MS Operating Systems. People have to go out of their way to upload Firefox. I use Firefox because I believe it's safer from viruses and also spyware.

If you try Firefox, you will see that it is superior, especially compared to Internet Explorer.
1.tabbed browsing
2.extensions
There are tons of useful extensions.
some of my favorite are
Mouse Gestures
Nuke Anything
Minimize To Tray
.....the list goes on.
It has a built in ad blocker. If you see an ad banner (non flash) you can right click and block all future ads from that site.
I try to get people to use firefox, but maybe it's just a little too advanced for IE users.

For one, security. Microsoft's internet explorer is full of security flaws that require constant updates.
Personally, I like the tabbed-browsing feature of Firefox. Removes the clutter of having multiple browser windows open simultaneously.

I think it's primarily a security issue. Since so many people use IE, it is attacked more by hackers.

I dunno. I never had a problem with explorer.
I think it is nothing more that people looking to go "against the man" by using a different product.
I have tried it and for some reason my computer crashes when I use it.

I think it is about security and user-friendly.
