Obviously, there are already many posts comparing IE and firefox, in short, I like firefox so much. Basic IE operation is just like IE with more advantages. Additionally, there are many great extensions for Firefox, which greatly improve the performance of firefox. Here, I'd like to give a short lists of interesting firefox extensions.
* adblock, a great one to block most of the ads from a website based on embeded scripts.
* flashblock, this can block flash in the webpage, if you want to watch that flash, just click on the icon.
* Forecastfox, show the latest information of local weather according to your setup.
* stumble, collections of website from users around the world with the same interests.
* DOwnload statusbar, help you to view download processing in firefox
* Mouse gestures, navigate the browser with the mouse gestures.
there are many other great extensions, you can find it from mozilla official web site.

I think one of the most effective Firefox addons is NoScript. It stops popups by blocking the script they use to annoy us all and i reccommend all Firefox users download and install it immediately.
