Open Source Power Firefox browser is open source and you can modify the source code too and easily hack to get huge browsing speeds. Internet Explorer is completely owned by Microsoft and code is completely owned by it.

High Web Security While browsing we may encounter Spyware attacks but if we use Firefox it would prevent us from spyware attacks, email spoofing, phishing, dangerous - unwanted popups (there is inbuilt popup blocker) , web forgery, broken sites. If you don’t believe then just download Firefox (latest version - 2.0.8 currently) and check it out.
Prevents From Phishing No browsers other than Firefox can prevent from phishing . When you open any spoofed sites instead of original site and submit your data then your identity is stolen out and sold to others but firefox issues an warning when you open spoofed sites and you get instructions to report to them about that fake site.
Prevents From Spyware Also it is the only browser that helps in this context. Spywares are sites which automatically download file to yoursystem using your browser and run them in your PC without your consent. But Firefox browser won’t allow them to infiltrate your system because it would stop them from installing wares without your consent and it regularly informs you what is being done and if any file is downloaded so that you know which is real software and which is spyware. In this way it prevents from spyware attack and you need not format your PC regularly as you did using IE.
Clear Any Private Data After you visit sites you have option of clearing all private datas likesearch texts, cache, temporary images saved so that no one can get information of what you were browsing. Also clear the history with ease.
