zcaveman, I would have to ask what feature of IE do you have that Mozilla does not have? So far I have found they have them all. A few different names, but the same features. There are 3 huge reasons to use Mozilla IMO. Virus attacks, malware and search tracking for ad reasons.
1. Virus attacks. Because of the widespread use of IE and the limited use of Firefox, almost all virus attacks are targeted toward IE and almost none toward Firefox. This causes the system to run slower, and takes many extra processing cycles. Just go to task manger and watch your CPU use on IE.
2. Malware, same as number 1
3. Search tracking. IE monitors your search and which web sites you go to from that search. They transmit this data and maintain a data base about you and your search preference and site selection. They use that to target which ads you are most likely to respond to. And it is almost impossible to disable this feature. You have to go into the system bios to disable. And you have to do it EVERY time you open IE because it is designed to change it back. I do not want them doing that. Again it chews up CPU cycles and slows down your system. Firefox does not do this.
Do a test. Run Malware bytes and clean your system. Do 10 searches using Mozilla. Run it again. Then do the same thing but do 10 searches with IE. You will switch after that test.
