Hi, need some opinions/info on internet explorer and firefox for an essay.
Not too bothered about which is better, more why it is better. Looking for details on reasons like security, flexibility, functionality or anything else that springs to mind.
Any help would be much appreciated :)

many people still think internet explorer is a god...
Only thing I noticed is that FF is faster when more tabs are open. And ofc the plugins for FF.
IE7 is doing the job pretty fine at work, but I prefer working with FF since I can customize it better.
FF plugins are a huge addon to free software, I use to get some weird viruses from random sites but with ff I have script blocking, so its safer. simple.
I just have more faith in FF =-)
The plugins on ff seem to be pretty much it's biggest selling point. Just allows it to do so much more than ie. Apart from this though im struggling to find facts to back up the opinions on security and peformance.
personally i still use ie, but its purely out of laziness because ff needs me to instal a bunch of plugins to watch video clips, show pages etc
# How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".
So NOT FF
Like a pub near me advertises, "buy your own drink" so they can ID everyone.. i say fuck off, buying rounds is convention!
