firefox vs ie Options

[flipboa185]

What's the significant difference?

[*mipadi*]

Firefox has tabs.










Seriously though, Firefox is an open-source browser, which means the source code is freely available, which means anyone can modify and distribute the application, or use elements of it in other applications. It also adheres more strictly to W3C web guidelines. It also supports RSS feeds and, as noted, has tabs. Firefox uses a different rendering engine, too, which is somewhat faster than IE.

IE, of course, is developed by Microsoft, and as the default browser on the Windows platform, it enjoys a larger market share than Firefox.

IE7 has tabs and RSS feeds. A host file in the WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc folder will also block popups. [for the added effect as IE7 has a popup blocked and plishing filter] And Firefox is not faster than IE. That would depend how your system is modified. Maybe yours is modified so that Firefox is faster?
