Firefox vs. IE

June 20th, 2008 by maureen · 3 Comments

Internet Explorer is still the browser used by the vast majority of website visitors, and if you’re a company with your own website, you should always make sure it displays okay in IE. But more and more people are learning about Firefox, and I’d like to talk a little about it.

I admit, I am very biased–I love Firefox. It’s more secure than IE, it’s often faster, and there’s a ton of useful add-ons that make my life easier. There are add-on tools to help with building websites, as well as my personal favorite, Forecastfox, which displays the current weather and tomorrow’s weather in your status bar without slowing down your browser. Foxmarks is another good one–it lets you access your bookmarks on any computer. You just sign in.

In any case, usage of Firefox is quickly growing. If you host a website, it would definitely be worth your while to check your website in Firefox and make sure it displays correctly. You might even find you like it better than IE.

Also, Firefox just released version 3. You can download it here.

That’s all for now. Have a great Friday, and a great weekend!

    I agree, I switched this year and I don’t think Firefox has crashed yet. IE crashed all the time.
