Internet Explorer vs. Firefox

 
I don't know which is worse the fight between Intel & AMD or Firefox & I.E.  I read where Firefox has it's issues also.
 
Which is better, Internet Explorer or Firefox?

    Installaiton of IE required to get Windows Updates so you have to live with that fact.  The reason that IE is more vulverable is becasue it is so closley tied to the OS unlike Firefox which is independent of the OS.    Frankly, I have never have a security issue with IE beut I alos don't go to Russian porn and hacker sites either.
     
    Intel vs AMD, about the same except for price, then AMD wins out.  AMD is more geared towards those wjo like to overclock.

    the recent firefox javascript vulnerabilities were a hoax -- at least to the extent of allowing code execution. I still like IE, but fair is fair.

    Also, the reason IE has more 'flaws' is because more people are looking because more people use it.

    I personally like Firefox for the plethora of extentions and the tabbed browsing feature.

    Firefox is having a lot of folks complain that it is surpassing the original scope of its project, a super fast non bloated browser, and becoming too bogged own.

    IE 7 looks to include the tabbed browsing feature, I look forward to trying it.

    if you want to give IE7 a try, RC1 seems fairly stable in my opinion. It causes certain problems with this forum but that can be overcome.

    I use IE7 rc1 at home and so far it seems to be more stable than IE6. Some website don't work with IE7, but some don't work with FireFox either.  There are plugins, but it is a tose up on which is better.  Yes, IE7 uses tabs.  IE7 works good with Vista rc1.

    That makes sence, and I agree.  I have used nothing but I.E. in the last 6 P.C's that I have owned and never had an issue with any of them, as far as the browser is concerned, and so far I see no reason to change.
