<p>I just ran my jpeg suite against IE and it came in at 6407 milliseconds. FF 3.0 Beta 5 came in at 4076 milliseconds.</p>
<p>The technical details on the Firefox memory improvements in FF3 are at [url=<a href="http://blog.pavlov.net/%5Dpavlov.net%5B/url">http://blog.pavlov.net/]pavlov.net[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Firefox is worlds better than IE for many, many reasons
I am a user than usually has 10+ tabs open, and firefox handles a large amount of tabs much better (and faster) than IE
The design is very simple, and you don't need to install a million different toolbars to have it the way you like it
One of my favorite features is how you can add multiple search engines to the top right search box
IE may have some (or all, I haven't even used IE in over a year, so I have no idea what the current feature set is), but firefox is a better, faster, more secure browser. One of the best features is how it installs updates on the fly, quickly. Once every couple of weeks, I will get an install update window when I first open firefox, but within less than 10 seconds it is installed and I am at my home page
To each his own; but for me personally, I prefer firefox</p>
<p>I use firefox. The real power of FF is that you can easily add extensions to it. I added:</p>
<p>(1) CusomizeGoogle, which removes google ads;
(2) forecastfox, which lets you see the weather;
(3) greasemonkey, which lets you load javascripts. one script removes facebook ads.</p>
<p>FF3. It takes care of the high memory usage. Even the beta is very stable. I use it as my primary browser. My current number is about 120k with 16 tabs and open for 4 hours+. Not bad... but IE sucks. But what can you expect, its from M$.</p>
<p>@apoptosis2003:
Don't forget Adblock Plus ;/</p>
<p>Firefox or Safari.</p>
<p>IE7 and firefox is on par in terms of security so both of them or OK. I personally will choose firefox 3.0 once it comes out. I heard they revamped the memory management and has fewer memory leaks than 2.0. Also if you are somewhat care about security don't ever use safari. Safari is the most insecure web browser from what I've learned in class.</p>
<p>FireFox, no doubt.</p>

Yeah, I'm not really sure why there's a debate on this topic. The only people who use IE are those who don't know about Firefox or don't have administrative access to their computer....</p>
<p>Ff is more convenient and safer than IE. I am glad that so many guys like firefox.</p>
