Welllll since it's free it's probably worth it :)
It's a more secure alternative to Microsoft's IE. The tabbed browsing blows doors on what MS implemented with IE XX (what version are they on now?). Firefox invented the idea of tabbed browsing and MS had to steal it just to stay competitive. Firefox also adheres to web development standards better than IE, so for a web developer, making things work on IE can be a pain in the butt compared to Firefox.

Firefox is a browser not unlike internet explorer. The advantages is that is has more security and since I use it I can't think of any disadvantages. When I use IE and run spyware programs, I have more of them than when I use Firefox. I use Firefox exclusively unless a program needs to use IE

FireFox is a web browser created by Mozilla, the original creators of the Netscape series of browsers. Version one was released in November 2004 and quickly gained new fans because of its open source license and multitude of features.
Open source means that the source code for the program is available to anyone who cares to download it. Any programmer can use the initial code to develop FireFox, whether they are creating customized options for themselves or working to improve the browser for all users. Being open source makes FireFox infinitely adaptable.

It is a free browser that has the advantage that it is not targetted by hackers and viruses as much as the far more popular IE7. It has the disadvantage that some web sites produce strange results - like pictures overlapping text - depending on the code used to write the site.

It is a browser, much better than Internet Explorer.
(You don't need Internet Explorer in order to access the Internet :))
However, if you're thinking about changing your browser, I also recommend trying out Opera.

Just get Internet Explorer 7, it looks like Firefox, but it's a little more simple.
