Is Mozilla the best browser???

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me what is the main deference between IE and Mozilla Firefox ? I have been using IE (version 6.0) for one year but from now on I have decided to use Firefox. I just want to know as to what Mozilla can do which Internet Explorer can not.
Thanks!

from IE6 to Firefox there is the tabbed browsing and the increased security as well as a bunch of plug ins available to FF users and not IE. If you upgraded to IE7, I dont think there is to much difference except for the plug ins.

I'm sure there is more I missed. I use IE7 and FF at home depending on what sites work and which ones done. (almost all sites work in IE7)

I give FF a rating.

To be completely honest, Firefox is the lesser of two evils. It is not the best, but it's the best that we have to work with.

Opera and Safari are actually both much better, more standards-compliant browsers. Unfortunately, however, only about 2% of the total population uses those two browsers so it is pointless to try programming your Web sites to work in those browsers.

On the other hand, approximately 10-30% of the total population uses Firefox, so it's a little safer to program your Web site for that browser.

IE, however, still holds anywhere between 70 and 90% of the browser market, so the bottom line is that you've always got to make sure that your Web site works in that browser.
