Some Of the Advantages of Mozilla over IE

Some Of the Advantages of Mozilla over IE:

  1. The biggest advantage in using Firefox over I.E. is the fact that spyware does not get on your machine nearly as much, I.E. will attract at least 60% more spyware than Firefox. Spyware might not seem like a big deal but over time your machine will collect it like wax collects in your ears. It will slow your PC down and problems will begin from that point.
  2. The difference in speed is an asset in itself.
  3. It is safer, it is not the target of so many hackers as Internet Explorer. I also like the tab browsing. If you want, you can set it up so when you close the browser, a window will show asking you if you want to erase everything for security reasons. In Internet Explorer you have to go to Internet Options and click of erase history and cookies. It is faster and more convenient in Firefox.
  4. It comes out with features faster then IE. Also it is better for debugging. It is more stable and is supported on more platforms. Although there are some issues with extensions and plugins on Vista.
  5. Firefox uses much less RAM and has a great google search bar installed in the top right corner of the browser.
  6. When you refresh pages, images or videos that haven't loaded properly, firefox allows the entire image to reload, whereas explorer stops reloading where the image previously stopped loading.
  7. There's a new plug-in for the firefox browser that makes searching simple no matter what search engine you like to use. Check out the 90 second demo here:
