Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client via kwout

To answer this question one just needs to look to list of advantages it has over all other available browsers which include:

• Open-source – FREE!
• Cross platform – Firefox will work, and more importantly, look virtually the same on Windows, OSX and Linux.
• Security – Firefox will block many websites from trying to install spyware and other mal-ware from getting onto your computer. It is not prone to the ActiveX security flaws that Internet Explorer (IE) and other IE based browser are subject to.
• Popup blocking – Firefox has a very good built in popup blocker that blocks all those annoying popups when you open up a web page.
• Tabbed Browsing – While this feature is now copied by IE and all the other browsers it was Firefox that made it so simple open pages in tabs in one window instead of having every page on a different window.
• Extensions and plugins – Because of the open source platform and huge developer community no other browser as a many optional add-ons created by users that add enormous functionality to an already very functional browser. We will be touching on some of the “best” extensions and plugins in future posts. There are thousands of add-ons to choose from and with over 30 add-ons on my system this is perhaps on the most important personal reason to use Firefox–you can make it do exactly what you want or need it to do.

If you have never used anything but IE than you really need to give Firefox a try. Once you have used it and customized it to do what you need or want, you will find it really can make your life a bit easier.
