IE is just more prevalent- but nowhere near as secure as Mozilla Firefox !
Marketshare- that's all. The only reason to have IE is for the pages that don't support in Firefox. Okay, so we needed IE for accessabilty, but now there is a better option. FIREFOX is great and recommended to reduce ADWARE (AdAware is a program to eliminate adware/spyware)
Follow the rest of the sheep to slaughter- IE is a bigger target to internet pirates- Firefox is a smaller,customizable, more user friendly browser anyway!
Microsoft, hmmmmm....
Have you seen the little Piggies rolling in the dirt....?

Advantages in IE over firefox in Windows?windows mail internet explorer
The only advantage IE has over Firefox in my mind is IE's marketshare.
In the US, it's like way over 90% (don't quote me, but it's huge).
So, pretty much all business users run IE.
Folks at home, unless they know what they are doing, usually run IE, cuz everyone knows it.
Hello!!!!!!!!! Get the new Internet Explorer 7, and you won't ask for more. IE7 kills Firefox!! Try the beta!!! Now
Easy for pricks to hijack.
Firefox:
- configurable themes/extensions
- more secure
- a better cookie management
- sometimes it loads pages faster then IE does
- problem: some pages don't work on Firefox (especially those which use VBscript or any tags that not conform wit hthe W3C standard)
IE
- it comes as it is; you can't add anything to it
- the chances to receive add-aware from the internet are very high
- you cannot distinguish if an error appears on a page
- you cannot uninstall it!
None whatsoever. Firefox is more stable and more secure than IE. Moreover, as someone rightly pointed out, you cannot remove IE from your windows system because the Windows Explorer is actually IE in a disguise. IE has more holes than any other browser around and needs to be patched every now and then as they find a new bug or vulnerability. Firefox is free and has many add on features apart from the fact that it is easy to use, upgrade and configure. Most of the websites now offer support for Firefox. So, it is a better option to switch to Firefox than stay with the buggy IE.
