Drop your opinions (IE Vs Firefox)

Hey guys,
I am new in net surfing. I am using IE (version 6.0). I want to know your opinions about IE and Firefox. Which one you like to prefer to use? Please feel free to give a frank and independent opinion.

I prefer Mozilla Firebox because it runs much faster than IE. Firefox has much more features that make surfing the web more comfortable and pleasant. If you want to test that then you just open the same games sites in IE and Firefox, you will see that FireFox is much faster than IE. You may also take a review of different browsers on browsers-review.com and see for yourself as to which one is the best!

I've been using Firefox for quite some time and love it. IE 7, though, is a fair competition although I still am leary of the proposed security holes.

It seems, to me, that IE7 is quicker (start-up at least) than Firefox but since I use Linux as well as Windows the familiarity of Firefox among both systems is a plus.

I also use Opera, which seems faster than Firefox for opening web pages, but after IE, Firefox has the best compatibility with websites out there.

Safari... don't care for it much, and there's nothing to it to lead me to use it over the "big 3".

I prefer Firefox, and now that I have gone over to Linux, I haven't used IE since.

I really like the plugins and customizability of firefox.
