Which is better? Of course since FF is newer, less people use it (i think), therefore less chance of getting a virus. But I seem to like IE better, maybe because I am used to it. What do you think?

Firefox 1.5 is faster, free, less buggy, has more features, and yes, there is a certain security-through-obscurity element present because of the lessened market share.
It also benefits from being open, and therefore has many of the same benefits as other open software (think Linux and the BSD family).

Might I suggest www.stopIE.com? That should answer all of your questions. And yes, I am a FF user. :)
I vote Firefox.

Noone likes IE anymore....except me I guess.
I used to use IE because i didnt find FF much better. But now i have switched to FF. One main reason it when it doesnt find a web page or it times out. It just has a message box and doesnt goto that "error 404 page" (at least when using KOL :). And with 56k That was a nice thing while playing browser games like KOL and stuff (kingdomofloathing)
And i like the favorites bar for things like speedcubing.com and stuff :)
Although i dont find it faster.. Probably because my internet is soooo slow already it doesnt change ^_^

I need to DL FF sometime, but havent got to it. I am using IE, and since I put a new firewall in, I have been fine. If any of you have computer problems, be sure to check out my PC site:

For those of you who use linux, how is that working for you? Anyone use Opera?

Whats holding you back? FF is an excellent browser. One thing I noticed is the intelligent address bar. I needed a table of elements the other day, and it brought me to a page that fit perfectly. You can also make "quick searches" for google and wikipedia. If i wanted to searched wikipedia for Rubik's, I could type this: "wp Rubik's".
Also, (on www.stopIE.com), you're on dial up, and tabbed browsing will make the internet seem faster by being able to load one page while reading another.
So, try it! It is certainly worth it.
I think FF is better in interface...
I like the tabs.
IE makes me mad when I open a lot of pages...
