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.

actually thats on IE7 ickle and your review is like the summary of mine voldy

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.

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


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

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.

I used IE for most of my life until i got annoyed of it, then i started using firefox which helped me heck a lot more so anyone IE users who are reading this switch to firefox!

I tried switching to Firefox but after downloading it, it screwed up my computer (and no, I did not have a virus or a bug beforehand), so I will stick with IE, thank you.

I just downloaded Firefox about half an hour ago. My computer system uses Vista and IE just kept freezing over and over again! It was driving me crazy to say the least. IE froze up on me at least ten times today; so that was the straw that broke the camel's back. A friend of mine on Leaky suggested Firefox and I am hooked. I love the browser's internal spell check; it completely threw me off; and it's correcting me as I type this post. Hurrah woohoo.gif!!!

JeffHPFan; I really like your signature smile.gif

Firefox! Sometimes some programs take longer to load, but I also have had less troubles with viruses, and spam -I love the ad blocker on Firefox.

You can't miss something if you've never tried it before! XD What exactly do you dislike about Firefox, or what makes you not want to use it? The download problem? =/

It can actually mess up your PC, or at least past versions could. A friend of mine had their IE become noticeably slower for no apparent reason after Firefox was installed a while ago.

Remember that everyone's entitled to their own opinions. It wouldn't be a discussion if everyone agreed. smile.gif
