IE v.s. Firefox, which browser is better?

Lately I noticed there is a hot discussion on the release of Firefox 1.0, the IE's alternative web browser. So I downloaded a copy myself to see if it lives up the claim of being better than the Internet Explorer. By the way, here is the link to download a copy yourself, it's free: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. I am suprised on the small download file size. It's less than 5mb, takes less than 5 minutes to download with my dsl connection. the set up is straight forward. The only thing I don't like about the setup process is when I choose to install into another directory, I need to create the directory first. I can't just switch the drive letter like other setup programs. It has a nice feature which allows you to import all the favorites and settings from your IE into Firefox. After finishing the setup, I can run the program right away without rebooting the computer. As I tried to browse several websites I used to visit, including my own website, I am quite happy with the loading speed which I think it is faster than IE. However, I did notice the difference between Firefox and IE. In the area of displaying web pages, Firefox is still like Netscape, there is subtle difference between the two browsers. I notice this difference on my own website. First, the add to my favorite JavaScript doesn't work with Firefox. Secondly, the special effects on the property slide show don't work with Firefox. And the last difference I notice is the spacing issue. IE has a better control of the page display for framed pages. Other than that, I like Firefox. I would give it a 9 out of 10 rating. However, I still like IE better, at least for now. I suggest you keep both browsers in your computer as what I did with Netscape before.
