MF or IE?

Australia

You may have heard of world known Internet Explorer. But have you heard of Mozilla Firefox? They are now equally famous but many say that Firefox is better than IE. I agree, as the security is higher than Internet Explorer and it is much easier to use. I know this because I used to use IE and I got a virus on my computer! While with Firefox, nothing bad or infectious has damaged my computer yet! I used IE for 2 years and MF for 4! Please share your opinions about these two world famous internet browsers! Thanks, Colin

i think both are very good mozilla firefox is also good but ie is also nice.i like both of them.earlier internet explorer did not have any option of opening tabs in the same window and mozilla firefox got the options of having tabs now the newer versions of internet explorer also have tabs but the problem with firefox is that it is very slow and ie is pretty fast but i like both of them they are very good.

I prefer Firefox because it blocks all the pop-ups.

Yes Firefox blocks popups really well but so does IE 6 and 7!

There's an option in Firefox wherein you can specify websites that can allow popups. And by the way, popups I think is already a past. Those were the days of IE 5 and 6.

I liked firefox better. This browser is much stable, faster and its easier to use. Before, I'm using IE but when I discovered firefox I stopped using it even if they started to adopt some of the features of MF.

For me, it will not matter. What matters most is the speed of your internet connection. IE is really the most popular in browser, but MOzilla is also a good one. In terms of security, Firefox is better.

Although IE is the most popular now, many IE users are switching to Mozilla Firefox.

I have been using Firefox for over a year now and it is wonderful compared to IE! When I use to use Internet Explorer, I had lots of problems, such as: Very slow loading pages, tons of error messages, it would freeze up surveys I was doing then close or it wouldn't even let me do some surveys and many times I would just get a big hourglass on a page and nothing would happen, not even an hour later! Many, many times I would get a message that said: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and will now close! It got so bad I couldn't do anything so I said the hell with it and came to Mozilla Firefox and now I never have any problems! I love Firefox and will never go back to IE!

As far as my personal experience is concerned, I prefer MF much much much way better than IE. First, of course the security. With IE, there are lots of pop-ups that would just bring virus to our personal computers or laptops. With MF, it didn't happen to me yet. As is automatically blocks pop-ups and it would also be our discretion if we would like to have these pop-ups blocked or not. But at least, we can decide, not unlike in IE, it just pop-ups our screen!Secondly, MF is way way faster to load as compared to IE. I have been using MF ever since, because of the speed and security and a lot more things. MF does not give any problems to me, neither to my pc.

Yes it does struggle abit when over ten tabs are opened. Obviously, not many people open 10 tabs anyway so its not much a problem! Thx

I'm using the Firefox now, and I'm use the Mac system now, so it can't install the IE, it just can install the Firefox or Safari, I love Firefox, it is really useful, and more easy.

I totally agree about Firefox, it's way better and more secure than IE. I used to use IE all the time until sometime the year before, when I switched to Firefox because I realized that IE was more lenient when reading HTML codes, and since I was making a website on IE, my friend told me that it looked funny on Firefox, so I switched to Firefox and fixed the problem I had in my HTML coding. Since then I've always used Firefox whenever I can. It's much more secure than IE, but it's still good to have an anti-virus program on your computer to make sure you don't get any viruses, because internet browsers can't pick up everything.

I used to always use Internet Explorer and never even knew about Firefox. A friend of mine had it on here computer and while I was at her house using her computer i actually got used to it and asked her about it. She told me she has always used Firefox and couldn't stand Internet Explorer. So I came home and downloaded and have been using it every since. I still have Internet Explorer on my computer but I never use it. I leave it on there for when the kids are using the computer. I like Firefox because I am because it allows me to open more than one tab and multitask with out slowing down my computer or causing problems.

I think Mozilla Firefox is alot better than IE too, I've been using it for a few months now and it seems like my computer runs much faster than if I use IE. Once in awhile I go back to IE but I always go back to Firefox because it works much better.

I do not agree, I prefer IE, I used Firefox, it can not always show the picture, but often can not like to the page. So, I think it is not very stable. And IE will not happen.
