Gmail and Firefox right here Invites anyone?

Firefox is supposed to have better security that IE; I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Firefox gets vulnerabilities just like IE, the exception is that Firefox doesn't use that big gaping hole in security MS calls Active X. Also, fixes for Firefox come out faster, the browser has better feratures, generally works better, and has a ton of plug-ins you can add to do all sorts of fun things, including RSS and Flash blocking.

Firefox is very much superior to IE, and you can't go wrong with it.
