Question: What make Firefox so much better than IE in your opinion?

Getfirefox.com and the plethora of IT articles and product reviews praising Firefox over Internet Explorer would do a better job of answering this question than I could, but let me list a few things.

- Security. That, and I get virtually no pop-ups anymore. Not only does IE have more holes than swiss cheese in comparison to its competition, but Firefox blocks spyware-related pop-ups without the need of a third party (and inefficient) pop-up blocker.

- Tabbed browsing (without the need of a third-party add-on). Once I became familiar with it, I don't know how I could have lived without it. CTRL+T and clicking on links with the scrollwheel button became my new friends real fast. Opening up new tabs saves yourself a lot of space on the taskbar.

- Themes and Extensions. When you do become tired of the look of your browser, download a new theme. In addition, you can customize your browser using a multitude of extensions (read: add-ons) to make your browsing experience as fun as pie.

Every release of Firefox since I got it has made me sadder and sadder. First update broke my skins, second update broke my extensions, and now I'm getting regular "Updates available" popups when I play games and leave my download window open, except it's just to update my themes, which the updater downloads and then can't install because they're incorrect versions or something. And I can't figure out how to turn it off.

I still love the browser, though.

This is why I only upgrade when I get a new computer. Well, that and I'm just lazy.

Yes, Firefox users are better human beings than IE users. In fact, if Hitler were still around he'd use IE.

What a compelling argument, consider me swayed.

Seconded.

Is there any doubt? Honestly, ask yourself. Why would someone so powerful need to 'waste' the time to learn how a new browser works? Psh.

Why do I like firefox?

Tabs. Landsakes. The w3c needs to get a 'open in new tab' into the next reccomendations for browsers to pick up (tabless browsers can replace it with a new window, perhaps:P)
I don't know if you guys realize how awesome it is. Just one push of a scroll wheel. and it's a new window!

Oh, and you don't have any incentive to use non-standard html in your documents you code for the web. Makes validation a lot easier

Firefox doesn't like to randomly FORCE an iframe to horizontally scroll. IE does. and I get told off by a layout reviews site because the chick is stupid enough to use IE Opera doesn't make it scroll, either xD

Firefox allows you to use small, decently sized navigational buttons, instead of the huge monstrocities in IE

Mozilla won't randomly decide to charge you to use firefox in the future, and even if they did, the code is open source so a variant of it will be available for free somewhere, because that's how that stuff works xD

and of course, you have the 'uninstall' option available in firefox Certain other browsers seem to lack that.

Browsing should be something that browsers do, not an entire OS. just like defining colors and styles should be something a stylesheet does, not an entire html document.

(and did I mention you don't have to look at those ugly scrollbars from people that think some friggin' hideous colors go well together? I don't believe I did. I don't see why people *care* about thosexD)
