Mozilla or IE?

Can somebody give me a pro's and con's. Especialy the security they provide, thanks.

 

I use both since IE can have a tendency to crash. The topic of security is such that some people will say Mozilla is safer than IE, others will counter by saying that they both the same. At the end of the day if you click on a 'dodgy' link with either you will get into trouble.

I also use Mozilla as my email client as I find it a lot easier to fathom out than OE. But that is just me and probably also because less attacks are levelled at Mozilla's email client than OE's.

Hope this helps

What are the pros and cons, here is a good article on the benefits of FireFox and open source software: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4472219.stm

 

I am useing Firefox, and I am really satisfied. Thanks for the info..

 

Pull down one of the nightly builds of FireFox. They're even better than version 1.0.3. http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I use maxthon but only for windows updates and use ff for most of my surfing.
I do have ie, mozilla, and netscape but it is pointless to have so many most of the time.

I don't trust ie at all, eventhough theirs debate about it being worse than ff. I just don't feel they update it as much as ff. All have weaknesses period.

 

Internet Explorer 6.x has 61 unpatched vulnerabilities.

Mozilla Firefox 1.x has 11 unpatched vulnerabilities.

I will put my money on Firefox, fewer security issues than IE.

I'll definately second that motion. Plus, firefox vulnerabilities in general get patched faster. M$ takes 4 months to rewrite one line of code!
