I want to know which is better Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?

It really depends on what you are looking for in a browser. Internet Explorer has been around for ages, and has the full support of Microsoft behind it. It is sleek and powerful, but on old(ish) computers that may slow you down a bit. Still, as the standard browser, you won't find many other negatives with it.

Mozilla FireFox is a highly customizable browser. New themes and gadgets are released every week, and this gives a personal feel to it when viewing websites. Although it slows the computer down, it isn't as bad as IE, though on a fast computer, you won't notice much of a difference between the two.

Other options available are Opera Browser. This browser offers very limited customization features (only a colour change in fact), but because of this gives very fast browsing. it doesn't require as many resources as IE or FF, but it isn't very fun to browse in something that looks as out-of-date as it does.

The final major browser is Apple Safari. In my opinion it is the fastest of the 4 browser and my personal favourite. Its style is based on the iTunes layout and it doesn't offer any customizability, but if you like iTunes, you'll love this browser. Its major downfall is the fact that it doesn't render (load) webpages very well. This can become very irritating while browsing so most people don't give it a second thought. It does run very fast (even on slow computers) and has the fastest startup time of all browsers. If you find that the pages you usually visit work fine on Safari, you won't have anything bad to say about it.

Safari 3.1.2: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safari312fo...

A new introduction to the Browser market is Google Chrome, Google's first attempt at an internet browser. It is currently in a beta version, but it seems to be one of the fastest browsers out there. But, as it is still in beta, there are many stability and security problems with it. I would recommend against using it as your primary browser, for the moment at least, until the final release comes out.

Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 Beta: http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&bran...

So it really depends on what kind of person you are and what type of computer you have. You can't go wrong with IE or FF, but under stress, they perform slowly, Opera is a boring looking browser but can run where the other two can't, Safari has problems with rendering many webpages and there are far too many security risks with Chrome, but is much the fastest of them all. I personally use all five of them (but IE and Safari are my main two). If Apple ever get the rendering process sorted, it would be my number 1 choice.

Hope that helps.

Mozilla Firefox (I am a fan), is admittedly more for the geekish people. The same kind of people that argue over Windows vs Mac. Firefox is mostly known for its fast rendering times and complete customization. But it also uses more system resources. There is no "best browser that satisfies all your needs". Yes Mozilla may be more advanced, but in the end Internet Explorer has more compatibility with websites. And some users are so familiar with IE they won't be comfortable changing. But I recommend you at least try Mozilla Firefox. Even if you are not an uber geek and want to completely theme and customize every aspect of your experience, you would at least enjoy it's simpler interface, good add-ons/plugins, and much faster loading speeds.

I am definitely not a fan of Safari. Safari for Windows sucks balls. It is really horrible. I personally don't like the OS X-like interface, and the web loading times are even worse than IE (for me anyway).

My experience with Google Chrome is not the same as some Google fans would have you believe. Google Chrome is not insanely fast, Firefox is faster. And the interface is sooo simple...a bit toooo simple...it has like 2 toolbars (including the menu bar).

I have not tried Opera or some of the other browsers. Only tried Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Firefox 3, and IE 7 & 8 Beta.

Hope this helped. =D

Mozilla Firefox is the best. It has many add ons that boost your internet usability. The interface is very customizable. Moreover, you can even open Internet Explorer specific pages, like the windows update page, in firefox using the IE-tab addon. So basically you have the functionality of Internet Explorer also built into Firefox.

If you are looking for something simple and easy on the system resources, try google chrome. It has a minimalistic interface and does not use much system resources.

I use the internet very lightly for email, instant messaging, a few message boards and for a little shopping so I honestly like the newest version of IE best. I have Firefox and I'm just not that impressed. There are too many knick knacks and extra features that aren't needed for the light use I need. I suppose it's great for someone who is interested in using the internet for various other features like downloads, etc.

Firefox works much faster on my computer, but my wife's computer is OK using Internet Explorer. When I use Explorer it takes a long time after I click the big E before it opens my home page.

Hats Off to Mozilla Firefox.

I am using and it is far better than IE.

Use Firefox and you will forget the IE.

Opera is also favorable..

mozilla firefox is the best one. its faster, has lots more of addons to use, many features than internet explorer. can restore the web pages if it crashes. overall better performance than internet explorer.
