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. |

Firefox is better than IE because Firefox does not allow ActiveX which was a thing created by microsoft which basically allows computers to install software onto your comp through IE, that was fixed when it made it so you had to click yes or no to have it installed. Then that was not working so they came up with Service pack 2 in windows XP which blocks all activeX controls, however this in and of itself isn't all that safe and IE itself is full of holes which can be exploited. Ease of use wise they're both the same. I just use IE more, but I have firefox and it's set to default but I always go for the IE icon, habit I suppose.
