I searched and nothing came up but if there is, feel free to close this.
 --- i had noticed a few people with the firefox graphic in their sigs and was wondering what was so good about firefox. like why is it "safer and faster"? i am not trying to put it down or say anything bad about it, i just wanted to know what was so good about it. |

it has something to do with the running of activex, which is the biggest risk of getting stuff. And as you can guess, it is Internet Explorer that carries the automated running and such. There's something about spyware too, but I'm not very sure about how firefox is better to be exact.
All I know is, it hasn't randomly crashed on me yet =) |
