If your like me you would mostly likely do this firefox.gif, Even though there is some internet explorer fans out there in my opinion Firefox is better then Internet explorer. With Firefox you can safely browse through the web safely, have add ons, and more! With internet explorer you can search the web with getting some pop ups on half the sites you visit unless you have installed a pop up blocker. Also with firefox you can add music players if your like me who likes to listen to the music while your browsing. With internet explorer you can just open windows media player if you like or listen to your mp3 player,stereo,etc. With Firefox you can have an cool skin! With internet explorer you can have just the old classic skin. With Firefox you can have your own personalized Firewalls on curtain sites that you wish that you and/or your kids (depends if you have kids) from going on sites that you wish they shouldn't go on. If you use internet explorers one of the options you can use is approved sites. With firefox you can have various add ons. Internet explorer has none that i know of. Overall in my opinion firefox is better then Internet explorer in many ways. No offense to all the internet explorer fans who are reading this topic.

Firefox. it's faster, smoother, and awesomer. I have used both ;P

oh, and by the way, Internet Explorer does have add-ons and such. but they're still not as good as Firefox's.

FIREFOX! I absolutely love Firefox, and have a ton of add-ons. I used to use IE--like, years, years ago--and when I'm forced to use it in school or something, I can't stand it. And now IE7 has tabbed browsing as well, and the add-ons, as mentioned in the post above....Stop trying to copy Firefox. XD

Firefox is just awesome; safe, efficient, and veeery customizable. It's just fantastic. XD

Yes, well, the point is for other people to post as well, not just the original poster....

I use IE. Not because I don't like Firefox or whatever, it's just I don't really care one way or another. I don't do that much on the internet that I need all the add-ons and whatever; I think IE works perfectly well for what I use it for. biggrin.gif

Firefox. firefox.gif Definitely. It runs so much faster and smoother for me, and it always has. The school computers use Internet Explorer and I always get really annoyed with it REALLY fast. lol.gif I like the tabs on Firefox so much better (stupid copying IE...) and I like how they have a thing where I can bookmark some websites so they appear on my toolbar underneath the url thingy (okay, that was a really bad explanation, but I think you'll know what I'm talking about if you use firefox). It's really helpful!

I'm not saying you are stupid if you like Internet Explorer, I just love my Mozilla a billion times more.

I was perfectly happy with IE when I hadn't used firefox before either, mostly because I didn't know what was out there. Have you ever tried it? Because seriously, I think you'd like it if you gave it a try.

Exactly! I was fine with IE, too, until I got Firefox. Everyone is fine with what they have when they don't know what the other option is. tongue.gif

Ick_snuffles23 said Internet explorer, spartan, which is the same thing as IE7. Voldy was also agreeing with you in his/her post, which is the point of a thread, discussing your opinion, of which he/she rightly shared.

Yeah, voldy. Sherman, I really do recomend downloading it. I'm serious... it's better in so many ways. And it's not cluttered like IE. Firefox is really cool because they have themes where your browser can look like safari (mac) or different colors and such. They even have a toolbar called foxytunes that controls your iTunes through firefox. Simple things like that is what makes IE and firefox stand apart.
