Firefox is more secure than IE. Both have advantages and disadvantages. As
a web developer I use both. I prefer FireFox to IE for it ease of use and
fantastic add-ons! But the best thing is "its free".

Ya, in this newsgroup it'll cost you at least $89 to IE bundled with Vista.
Not free, and not worth the money. Long live IE6!

It may help if you mention which games. IE settings may be restricting
what you can access, Java may be needed and is not installed, Firefox
works just fine and is as safe as just about anything else, you could
also search for "Safari" by Apple Computer - by all means give those a
try but the browser may not be your problem, so you may have to come
back and ask again.
