Hi there,
I have some points for this discussion.
First, the Security point of view:----->>The majority of these spyware and vulnerabilities are commonly programmed for Internet Explorer being that IE holds over 70% of the internet browser market. There are other browsers out there that can compete with IE, but Mozilla Firefox (formally known as Firebird) is a complete browser filled with tons of features that only light in size. From a built in pop-up blocker that works better than many commercial pop-up blockers, to tabbed browsing, these are just two of the factors that contribute to making Firefox an internet browser dream.
Second:---->> Popup Blocking
In this day in age, an internet browser without a popup blocker is like having a broadband connection without a fireball. Firefox stops annoying popup windows dead in their tracks, according to Mozilla.org, and that exactly what it does. Visiting a popup blocker test page, Firefox built in popup blocker was able to close all popup windows while the page loaded and during the page's onload() event. At
Popup blocker free pop-up ad killer test page, several test can be ran to prove your popup blocker power. Mozilla Firefox built in popup blocker was able to handle the Stress Test, which according to pop-upblocker.info[Stress tests] attempts to overcome your pop-up killer by trying to spawn large numbers of windows as quickly as possible.Firefox popup blocker was able to close all 200 popup windows without even breaking a sweat. Trying this with IE and no popup blocker would probably bring your pc to its knee. You can also easily access the list of websites that the popup blocker blocks and altering it state by a simple click.
Third
ownload Manager
A feature which I thought was going to be integrated in Internet Explorer 6 was a download manager. Download managers allow you to manipulate and take control of your downloaded files. Mozilla Firefox download manager contains just the essentials to allow you to control your downloads. You can pause your download and continue it a later time, something which is not possible with IE download manager. Apart from sporting a nice look, the download manager stores the information such as size and location of your downloaded file. When the download is complete, a small notification is displayed in the lower right side of the screen.
Four:-->> Keeps HTML Formatting
Mozilla Firefox is able to keep the html format when copying from a webpage to a text file. For example, when copying html formatted text from a webpage and pasting it on a note pad, the text copied using Mozilla Firefox keeps the format yet the text copied from IE doesnt.
There are many many more features in FireFox which makes FireFox Coooooooool than Internet Explorer. I myself use Internet Explorer 7 and Firefor both. Yeah, now a days I am on Safari, its nice for its browsing Speed, lightning speed.
I run many websites and I make them compatible with FireFox and Internet explorer 7.
