I couldn't find the answers and since so many ppl use firefox now its showing a clear 20:80 advantage 4 FireFox so i thought i might. Mainly i liked Anubis's comments ;) Thanks man !!

Special Features: Intelligent pop-up blocker, more secure, skinnable, supports plugins, tabbed browsing, faster load times, supports more protocols (such as gopher, but I don't think anyone cares :P)

I use firefox because I just dont want to use Microsoft products. If its not my sis, and MSN Messenger, I would use RedHat Linux already...

Besides, WinXP SP2 just made me more irritated with it. I dont care about the security of my PC, at the most, a reformat! :D

Haha...But I prefer firefox because it has tabbed browsing, consume lesser memory than IE sometimes(I dont really know actually, with that Google Compute running in the background...), and I need to work with other browsers to check that the webpages that I create works...:D

tbh, almost all browser have the same features, there are no "special features" in any of them which the others don't have. It all comes down to what you prefer as the interface. period...

And John Anderton, Stigmata said also "deja vu" because every two months or so there is exactly the same thread (which always ends up being a browser war)...

Stop browser wars, just select what you use, but don't list the "special features" because as said, every browser has the same ones, there is nothing special/unique about it.

IE is built into the kernal so part of it starts when the system boots up  so when you run it , it opens really fast because it kinda was already running

ugh.. you firefox users ought to stop posting your horrible lies about firefox and IE. getting infected by ANYTHING while using internet explorer, is the fault of the user for being so careless, not the fault of the browser. even so, you have no proof that firefox is MORE secure than IE. if in doubt, install basic protection like spywareblaster, avg, and a firewall. firefox is also no faster than IE, and it displays many websites wrong.

the main reason i use IE, is because it is the ONLY browser that supports code that the majority of the internet use. example, does anyone else here happen to know that firefox does not support something so simple as setting the background from within the body tag?!
