Choosing between Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer? This will help you decide.

Mozilla firefox is a better browser than internet explorer because…

- Firefox is customizable with add-ons and themes at addons.mozilla.com, but internet explorer only supports toolbars.

- Firefox is more secure, since it is not part of the operating system and anything stored in its cache will not directly affect your computer.

- Many people have criticized Firefox for not supporting windows update and that some websites run better on internet explorer. This problem has an easy solution: An add-on called IE-tab, which integrates Internet Explorer into firefox destroying the need to use Internet explorer.

- Some say that Internet explorer looks better than Firefox. There is an easy solution to this as well. There is a theme for firefox which makes Firefox look exactly like internet explorer.

- Firefox’s address bar drop down menu is much nicer than Internet Explorer’s because it shows the title in large font above the URL of the history.

- Are you scared about websites putting cookies on your computer that you don’t want? There are plenty off add-ons that do this in firefox but Internet Explorer cannot do this.

- Firefox can save your opened tabs from your last browsing session. Internet explorer cannot.

- Firefox has a tool called “Fashion your firefox” which automatically installs the correct add-ons for your personality (Social butterfly, Rockstar, Shopaholic, etc.). Internet explorer doesn’t have add-ons.

Still not convinced? Try Firefox and figure it out for yourself.
