Firefox
After hearing so much about Mozilla's Firefox, I decided to give it a try. Now, my first question is... What's the difference between IE and Firefox? *blur*
The only difference I found, less than 5 minutes after installing Firefox, is the tabs thingie which is not unlike good old Netscape Navigator (Ya, that's ancient, I know). Anyway, I have 2 different browsers now and if more is good then I guess I should be happy. :)
Oh ya, if anyone can tell me the difference between the 2 browsers, please do ok?

Firefox is not IE. That's the difference.
I love the tab thingy.

Aiyo... Internet Explorer is full of "holes", meaning that hackers have been using IE as a "gateway" into your PC for a long time now. Firefox is more secure and robust, and doesn't allow such holes to be opened.
Also, your computer can be "spoofed" easily when using IE, and hackers can literally see your keypresses - something you won't want when you are entering sensitive information. would you?

it loads a hell lot faster, is more stable, has the tab option, isn't a target for hackers & vulnerabilities like IE is. and it's free!

It isn't IE. Isn't IE. Isn't IE.
