I use Firefox so do a lot of other people but my friend uses Internet Explorer. I wanna know what people think which one do you think is better? I honestly don't know the difference between any browser lol. Most people on Smosh do so which one do you think is better?
Don't just put the browser put the reason to its its an actual Discussion

Along with a majority of people, I also use FireFox. The latest version has spellcheck, I have never seen this on other browsers, it helps a lot with sending business e-mail. It's also fast and has a nice popup blocker.

From what I've heard, FireFox is the best one. If you go to Mozilla.com you can download it there. I heard it was the most secure, and easiest to use etc.. I use IE, but I'll be using either FireFox or Safari very soon.

I use both a lot. I use FireFox mostly to check links that people send me, because it has GREAT virus protection.
But I use IE to browse forums, myspace, etc, and to make searches. It's much easier.

I used to be a diehard fan of Firefox... to me it was the best browser ever. But then they came out with v. 2.0+ ... and I was just not impressed at all. I kept getting all these weird errors. Also, the makers just added stuff that wasn't necessary and didn't help the browser in ways it could have been improved. They have a lot of cool add-ons for Firefox... and that's nice for fluff purposes, but it wasn't useful to me. So I lost patience with it after all the errors and decreased loading speed, ect. I then switched over to Opera. Opera is my favorite browser now. You can choose from some pretty neat skins for the browser, and what I like is minimal size/clean appearance. I want the toolbars/buttons that display to be small so there's more screen space, and I found a great skin for that. The browser loads fast. It's just absolutely perfect for what I need.
I have Firefox installed also though, and I do use it occasionally, for certain sites, but not often.
I recommend having Opera and Firefox installed and using them both for whatever purpose at the time. But for my regular surfing habits, Opera is unbeatable.

Hmm.. I use Firefox also. I think there is another browser called Operia that can be used on Linux or Mac.
Don't know if it's better or not.

I'm definitely a Firefox guy. Internet Explorer 7.0 is a great improvement from 6.0, but I'm just not fond of the new interface.
Safari... I just plainly hate it.

In my opinion firefox has more options, and if IE has the same options, they hid them so well they cant be used by anyone

I'm not sure, IE has the options, but they're like you say, harder to use and in general the layout and look of Firefox is much more appealing than IE.

I was using Firefox since it's out on the "market"..
That's quite long time..
But few days ago something went wrong.
I had to reboot computer and when I tried to start Mozilla again it was keep on freezing.
Now I must use opera. It's not that bad. I've been using it before too, but there were no these "speed dial" links with pictures.
I love this thing.
But still.. Mozilla FTW.
IE.. Hahahahaha.. We can have good laugh at it.. ;D

I just downloaded FireFox, WOW. It's so much faster than IE. I always heard that, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I thought IE and FireFox were almost the same. I was wrong.

Firefox is definitely better. I'll tell you why. It is more widely used, and more websites are designed to look better through firefoxe's userface, that internet explorers. There are more plugins, and They started Tabbed internet browsing. Windows stole the idea from linux!
GO FIREFOX! :]

i dont know if this happens to other people with firefox but here it goes...
So sometimes when i use firefox it will start to slow up... not just the connection that works fine. firefox as a program freezes for about 7 seconds until it works again. it does this when flash is playing alot and you can not scroll the page.
!!!Warning for advanced users only!!!
i have found a solution to this.(only for windows users)
press Ctrl + Alt + Delete
Select processes
close Explorer.exe (this will make firefox work but get rid of your task bar. you can get it back by:
Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete
select new process
in the box that comes up type "explorer"
one way to change programs when the bar is down is to use Alt + Tab
