1. Less viruses! Most viruses are designed for IE currently because more people use it

2. Look better =0 In my opinion and has a simpiler interface that only keeps essentials (unlike IE which has multiple tool bars, Firefox only has tabs, addressbar and favorites

3. Free add ons =0 Unlike IE it has free add ons

4. Loads things more smoothly - On my computer, it always glitches up when I load up Yahoo in IE but on firefox it loads more smoothly and doesnt have the annoying click click sound lol

Disadvantages (These are from http://www.wisegeek.org/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-firefox.htm)

1. Compatibility issues. The main disadvantage of Firefox is compatibility. Some websites do not show properly in Firefox, and require you to view them with IE. This includes pages with ActiveX and VBScript, both of which are not supported by Firefox.

2. Memory. Firefox takes a lot of memory to run. Firefox tends to freeze and close when too many tabs are open simultaneously, which is why Firefox invested heavily in creating the recovery memory feature.

3. Interrupted service. Another disadvantage of Firefox is that downloads cannot be resumed if interrupted. Firefox was actually designed for people using high-speed internet, which means dial-up users can run into many problems along the way.

What are the differences between internet explorer and Firefox?

Firefox is much safer in my opinion than internet Explorer. I have had no virus or spyware problems since switching over to Firefox. There is a higher rate of contacting a glitch using IE. I think Firefox is much quicker than IE. I switched becaues it seemed faster and I loved their tab feature. Although IE has this feature now I still find it easier, faster and safer when using Firefox over IE. I see it as Internet Explorer is on their 8th version and they are already playing catc up to Firefox's 3rd version. Firefox is a much younger but I feel like I am getting much more from it.

Why does Firefox not close on mac?

If Firefox isn't closing on a Mac, it could be due to several reasons, such as an unresponsive tab or extension that is preventing the browser from shutting down properly. Sometimes, background processes or tasks may keep the application active. Force quitting Firefox through the Activity Monitor or using the "Force Quit" option can help resolve the issue. Additionally, ensuring that Firefox is updated to the latest version may prevent such problems in the future.
