Mozilla feedback?

DH downloaded it because somebody told him to give it a try. But he doesn't know why it was recommended and knows nothing about it. Anybody out there who uses it and can fill me in on why it's good and if it causes any problems? I seem to stick with what's familiar, meaning IE, but I'm game!

I have been using Mozilla for over a year. I LOVE IT! It has a popup blocker built into it. I don't remember the last time I had a popup or a pop under. About 2 months ago, I upgraded to Mozilla's Firefox. Firefox is more secure than IE. It doesn't have the holes IE has. In all the time I've been using Mozilla, I think only 3 times have I encountered a website that needed IE in order to view it properly. One such site was a math site for children. When they'd do the math problem and clicked done, nothing happened with Mozilla. I opened it in IE and when clicked done, a popup gave the answer. Mozilla blocked even that! I highly recommend Firefox however, keep IE updated and on hand for those times that only IE can display the site properly.

People useing Mozilla and Firefox have said they really like it. More secure is the main reason. But you know that ad for Walgreens on tv? There is no such place as perfect....you still have to be on your toes.


 


Have a nice day !.
