Which do you trust more? Microsoft is a reliable company that makes EVERYTHING!!! Mozilla is gonna go down soon. (Microsoft will make it obsolete once they are done making Sun Microsystems obsolete.)

But dang, Firefox loads web pages in a flash. Like it has a supercharger. Compared to IE7 which has a stock engine.

Firefox tells you if you go to a website that is a suspected forgery, which IE might finally be doing.
Security in general, both web browsers support secure connections and such. Between the two, there really is no security risk with either anyways.
People get viruses and get money stolen because they click on the "free **** and baby ducks" link and let the random .exe file download and run it thinking it is okay, and then continue to write in their credit information including social security number for this "free" stuff.
As long as you be smart, either one will work fine. For me, I only use IE7 to do windows updates. I have run Firefox for 2 years now and have yet to get a virus, though my antivirus helps kick butt too. There are so many more options and add-ons for Firefox as well. If you have websites that work well on IE only, you can even run IE in a Firefox tab for that sight only.
Firefox FTW.
Firefox is a fad?
I voted for Firefox. Not just for loading pages much faster than IE but for the add-ons, especially Adblock and Filter Set G. You know the ad on the top of the page on SL or any other ad on any other web page? I haven't seen them in years. Also, I can chose to not see any specific image... I've done that to a few avatars and signatures in this board and others.

I just noticed the ad on top of the page disappeared! :D
Firefox is cool. I just started using it yesterday so there's more surprises to come.
How about add-ons? What add-ons do you recommend?
