Mozilla's answer to Internet Explorer. Firefox includes popup blocking, tabbed browsing, extensions, a download manager, and is much more secure than Internet Explorer, because it doesn't use ActiveX or active scripting.
Firefox supports virtually all the plugins IE does, such as Flash, Java, RealPlayer, etc. You just click on where it says "download this plugin now" and it'll be installed automatically.

When I was a newb, I used Internet Explorer, but now that I know more about how the Internet and computers work, I've switched to Firefox for good.

Firefox is secure and standards compliant. Internet Explorer has security holes and poor standards support.

The most kickass web browser out there now (developed by Mozilla). It is so superior in comparison to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Try it! You'll wonder how you ever surfed the net without it.
You won't be disappointed.

An awesome web browser from Mozilla. It was originally derived from Mozilla's (Seamonkey) code, but now has plenty of coding of its own. It supports W3C's standards and is quite secure. Best of all, it doesn't have support for Microsoft's security hole (read: gate for hackers to enter your computer) known as ActiveX, nor does it have most of the problems Internet Explorer has.
Mozilla will pay anyone $500 bucks for volunteering to fix security holes in its software, which is free (yes, as in speech, but also as in beer). That's pretty generous.

Going on the internet without firefox is like walking into an Al-Qaeda camp with nothing but american flag designed underpants.

Stop using that sorry excuse for a "Web browser" and download firefox. It's free and it's open source.
