Why you MUST have Mozilla Firefox and NOT Internet Explorer

Stop using Internet Explorer and start using Mozilla Firefox immediately!

Even though you may be very comfortable with Internet Explorer and you don't like change, Mozilla Firefox is the web browser you cannot live without.

Here's why:
1. Faster Browsing - Firefox is a "lighter" program than IE and doesn't carry the same bloat as IE.

2. Enhanced Security- Firefox is generally considered to be a "safer browser" compared to Internet Explorer because fewer people are writing malicious programs to exploit Firefox vs. IE. IE is a Microsoft product and like any Microsoft product, is a big target for hackers and phishers.

3. Modern Browsing Experience - Firefox is what is known as a "standards compliant browser", meaning that not only will you be able to browse current sites, you will be able to view cutting-edge sites as the technology progresses.

4. Easy Install - You can install Firefox by downloading the program and double-clicking on the install icon. The installer will even transfer your IE bookmarks to Firefox.

5. You Can Run Both Browsers - Even in today's world some web sites don't display well in Firefox and Internet Explorer. In my experience I've found that some major corporate sites don't display well in Firefox so having IE as a backup is unfortunately necessary.

Enjoy. You'll never go back to IE (except in a few rare case).
