I use both, prefer FF and I will say that my download speeds are way faster with FF than IE. I dunno maybe my settings in IE need to be tweaked, but straight outta the box I say FF has always been quicker for me personally.

Firefox IMO..

But i have heard of some tweaks you can do in your computer settings to make your internet connection go faster,like increasing the amount of requests to the master server. :P

IE is faster in almost every test.
The fastest is, and has always been this way, is Opera.
So, are you still saying it's faster then IE?

BTW, FYI, blabla: I'm using Firefox for 98% of the time, 1.5% Opera, and 0.5% IE.

Hmm, as you're showing tests I'd like to show the ones on Apple's Safari website.

The problem i have with Internet Explorer is that it is vulnerable to just about everything. Just using the browser puts you as risk for some horrible virus. In fact, the last time i used Internet Explorer i did get a virus and ended up reformatting my comp because i could not get rid of it. (I spent 3 hours cleaning out the registry and deleting infected files and I still couldn't get it off.) So with that being said i use Firefox just about 100% of the time.

What i like about it:
1. Way more secure.
2. Themes & Extensions
3. Way simpler than IE7
4. Looks way better then IE7
5. Is for the most part an open-source project. Which i like because it will always be updated and will always be on top of the latest threats and exploits. (Firefox 3.0 Beta 1 FTW!)

So yup that about covers it.
