I´ve heard that Firefox it´s safer and start 2 months ago using it, sometimes it´s quickier than Explorer, but like all in internet it´s not 100% safe.

Definately, use firefox as this is a much safer programme. It does not let any virus invade your system, as well as works against hackers.
My daughters comp. teacher advised us this as our internet explorer used to develop problems very frequently.
Just install it once from the net....and its quite easy to use...as I am pretty sure that I would never be able to use it if it was otherwise.

I prefer Firefox then IE, because it light and can open window on tab. I usually open autosurf program using firefox

use what you find the easiest to us. Both are not 100 % hacker proof.

Firefox and Opera are in my view certainly better than Internet Explorer, if only for the comfort of use (tabbed browsers are indeed very convenient). All I know is that some sites unfortunately do not support non-Microsoft browsers, which is a shame.
As for the security reason to switch to another browser, I have heard specialists praising those browsers and saying indeed that IE is open to many attacks.

Hi costello, I like mozilla firefox because it is much secured when compared to internet explorer. It has an advanced security feature which makes it safe to use. I like also the add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions of mozilla, thus making it more useful. However, I also used IE because there are some websites that cannot be opened by mozilla, so I used it rarely.
Have a nice day and God speed!

I use internet explorer and it works good for me, I have never used firefox so I cannot say if one is better than the other or not.
