10 Reasons to Choose Firefox Over Internet Explorer

#1: Less Crashes
Flat out, Firefox crashes less often than Internet Explorer does. Also, on the rare occasion that it does crash, you have the option to restore the session. This means that all of the pages you were viewing, at the time of the crash, will reload.

#2: More to Offer
Firefox has a lot more to offer than Internet Explorer does. Not only does Firefox come with several search engines preloaded, but it also allows you to download other applications that can be used with your browser. Forecastfox, for example, will display weather conditions in the lower, right-hand side of your browser.

#3: Pop-ups
Internet Explorer is pop-up hell. Even if you use the built-in pop-up blocker, you will quickly become annoyed. With Firefox, you can easily block unwanted pop-ups, while still being able to easily view the pop-ups that you need.

#4: Security
Hackers love Internet Explorer. Why, because Internet Explorer makes it very easy for them to hack into people's computers. Internet Explorer is known for having several security flaws. While Firefox will have the occasional problem, they will do everything possible to fix it as soon as it occurs, unlike Internet Explorer.

#5: Bugs
Internet Explorer is known for having problems. These problems can be security issues, crashes, or even the browser closing for no reason at all. Firefox, on the other hand, rarely has problems. When a problem does occur, it is quickly fixed.

#6: Updates
Internet Explorer rarely updates it's browser, while Firefox puts out an update about twice a year, if not more often. Why is this such a big deal? Updates are important because they help to keep browsers more secure and running smoothly.

#7: Load Time
Websites will actually load quicker when you use Firefox. Internet Explorer can sometimes take several minutes to load detailed pages. It doesn't matter if you're using DSL or Dialup either. The time it takes to load a website is always quicker when you use Firefox.

#8: Open Source
Firefox is open source software. What does this mean? This means that anyone can make changes to Firefox. If there is a security issue that needs to be fixed, literally thousands of people can be working to fix this problem. Internet Explorer is not open source. This means that only Microsoft employees will be able to work on these issues, meaning that it will take a lot longer to fix the same problem.

#9: Download
The download manager in Firefox makes it a superior browser. With the download manager you will be able to see your download's progress and even pause the download if you need to. This is great if your connection speed drops and needs to be reset. This way, you don't have to reset the download completely. Instead, you can pick up where you left off.

#10: It's Not Microsoft
The best reason of all would have to be the fact that Firefox is not owned by Microsoft. Does this reason really need any further explanation?
