Which one do you use?
I use FireFox - great system, few viruses etc and loads of plugins.

LOL, why not? Surely he should know that by not using it, you are at a disadvantage!

LOL! Just don't set it as your default browser! And make sure the start menu shortcuts are hidden in a folder only you use.

Whats the difference between Mozilla and FireFox? I use something called Mozilla Firefox, and am now confused as to which it is.

Mozilla is the first browser made by Mozilla, they then made Firefox, you use FireFox. Mozilla is a company.

Mozilla claim the Firefox browser loads quicker than Internet Explorer. I disagree, as on all machines I have used with Firefox, it opens much slower, even on my beast at home. Still, I use both Firefox and Internet Explorer for development work, and both are easy, secure and have their own ups and downs. I voted Firefox simply because Mozilla have made such a huge success with it in such a short amount of time.

I don't know about the load time thing, I couldn't really care if it takes 1 second longer, doesn't make much difference. The adblock extension is essential - it will reduce loading times (possibly) but most of all it removes all those annoying flash adds ("shoot the duck")!

Yeah, I get the baseball on'es a lot. Quite a lot of the time you don't actually have to win, even if you miss by miles you still get a popup - "you have won!" (I deliberately tried it for a laugh).

The best one I have seen is the kill the ninja one. It doesn't even pop up if you miss him, although the auto-aim is cranked up.

I use firefox, never used mozilla, so comparin IE and firefox, the fox wins the race, easier and cooler, although the new IE looks pretty similar, and maybe better

The new IE is blatently Microsoft copying it's biggest threat - FireFox. It's now got tabbed browsing and stuff, but is apparantly all messed up (I haven't used it).

And what was with them making a 64-bit version of it. Who is going to notice any performance difference loading up webpages, of all things!? I mean, seriously...

There will be no benefit of a 64bit internet browser - all 64bit does is allow the processor to handle larger numbers, without splitting them up, which won't affect simple text manipulation.
