Reason #1: It has many useful add-ons that seemlessly integrate. Some sites support the search bar.
Reason #2: More steady and stable development, more people working on the project; meaning more security fixes. When was the last time IE was updated? I believe it's been since WinXP SP2 was released, and that was nearly a year ago. And even Microsoft admits each update "fixed a vulnerability that allows a hacker to hijack...".
Reason #3: FireFox crashes less.
Reason #4: FireFox is more scaleable. You can type in about:config in the address bar and manipulate many different settings, aptly I changed my option to allow pipelining which makes webpages load much faster because it opens multiple parallel streams to the webpage, and can bypass download restrictions set by the server.
Reason #5: Sound style and design. Tabbing is another useful feature that keeps your bottom bar free of clutter when viewing many webpages simultaniously. Everything about the browsers layout is very logically laid out.
Reason #6: Developer friendly. View cookie readouts, delete individual cookies easily.
Reason #7: FireFox caches webpages differently from IE. Instead of downloading the file and putting it into a folder, it stores the cache in divided files. This helps prevent malware from making its way onto your machine.
Reason #8: It's trusted, its original code is based off one (if not the original) browser ever created. The first browser since it was an interpretor, set the rules and standards for HTML.

also something i learned about firefox a few weeks ago on tab's, if you click a link with the middle mouse button or scroll wheel/ball, it opens a new tab instead of having to right click+choose to open in new tab.

Hm....Never tried Firefox before...Been using IE for a loooooong time or once in a while i use browsers that come with programs...Like right now I'm using the browser integrated into BitComet¬.¬but IE does piss me off a lot
BECAUSE MY SKILLSIM WORKS IN IT.
I'm a wizard!
Hmmm kinda like the Firefox..thats what im using right now. .. hehehe..much more user friendly for me! /no1

Hyep! I like Firefox especially with the Google Toolbar (the "Open New Tag" button is handy). It's just that some things don't work under Firefox although the same thing could be said with IE.
hmm...but firefox needs some xtra tab downloads in order 2 visit certain sites which only allow internet xplorer 2 access....and firefox downloadin is a lil weird...but its not but im not dat use 2 it
one fing i do love bout it....it loads all pages fasta ^^
one fing i do love bout it....it loads all pages fasta ^^
i'm kinda having 2 thoughts wether to use firefox or IE. i mean, all your comments about firefox are great info but i've been using IE for the past few years and its hard to let go of it. /sob

It's always hard to let go on a browser if it works well on yours. If it doesn't then it's easier to let go. Same thing goes for everything, I guess.
u noe 1% of da population who uses da internet still uses netscape LOL
>.< @ Netscape! Well I personally use the browser that came with my internet (Yahoo! DSL) it has a tab feature, and although I do have FireFox, it's downloading is odd and I only tend to use it one sites that only support FireFox, which is pretty rare for me. Oh fuse you said something about speeding up your pages? Thing you could tell me how you did that? Might give me reason to use firefox 
Yah it's very easy, you first need firefox. You can download it here.
Type in about: config at the url line. In the table look for:
network.http.pipelining
set value to: true
network.http.proxy.pipelining
set value to: true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
set value to: some value less than 30. Just depends on your internet connection what it can handle, don't get it up to 60, I think you'll be bound to get your IP banned from some websites if it's extremely abused!
nglayout.initialpaint.delay
set value to: 0

Woah, very speedy page loads. Not bad only thing is that I won't have all the bookmarks I have saved in my current browser.
Whoa what the hell 
. This is awesome. The page loading is.. haxly.

It's not bad.. hey your right it's weaked fast....
I have to disagree with you faith... Because when I first let Firefox run it asked me if I wanted to import all cookies, bookmarks and such from IE...(it is user friendly...)
fuse cant find the last thing, the nglayout.delay something...
