I use mozilla suite its almost the same as firefox. I tried firefox but decided to stick with mozilla suite. I found that either one was much better than intrnet explorer. here is the link hope this helps

I thought Mozilla and Firefox were pretty much the same thing... hrm.

People like using it because spyware and shtuff is targeted to Internet Explorer... something like that.

Had no problems with Internet Explorer but the main reason i use Firefox is because of the tabbed browsing so much easier for me!

all the plug-ins you need are easy to download through the browser itself eg flash, shockwave, java etc..

do a test your self, scan your pc with a spycleaner tool, run ie for 7 days and scan your pc, and see what the number is, rescan n clear, then only use firefox for a week, and compare the ammounts of spyware that get installed, you will be strangly amused.
