all.

lets say if i installed Firefox and a website isn't
working properly will i be able to use IE 6.0 to browse
the website? also does it effect IE 6.0 if i install
Firefox. should i stick with IE 6.0 sp2+MSAS or make a
switch to Firefox? not completely sure if Firefox is
worth to install.

They don't affect each other, although you must choose which will pop up
when you click on a URL.

Microsoft Antispyware still provides valuable protection regardless of the
browser you use.

No browser is a panacea. They all have security vulnerabilities.

Questions, questions.....

Yes. It has a neat feature 'view this site using IE'
for those pages which have non-standard code
(fit for IE only)

also does it effect IE 6.0 if i install
Firefox. should i stick with IE 6.0 sp2+MSAS or make a
switch to Firefox?

Not at all. Most people who have installed Firefox
also have IE installed (It is not possible
to uninstall the bugger so easily)

not completely sure if Firefox is
worth to install.

10% of the browsing popolation think so.
(And I am willing to bet that these are the more 'savvy'
part of the browing population than the IE using zombies)

Finally someone who does not say that FF is secure

 

[Guest]

It's more secure than IE and it is compadible with spyware
blaster. It's a good choice to me.

Works fine for me. (XP Home SP2)

Seems most of the MAS and firefox user account
compadibility problems are with XP Pro.

 

[Allen McGuire]

I disagree - it's more secure if you don't know how to use IE properly.
There are valuable security measures you can take to secure your IE browsing
experience, and if you stay current, I think it's as secure a browser as
there is.

How many people actually take advantage of Zones? Do you know how to
control and manage cookies? Scripting?

Most don't take the time to learn the product they are using. If you are
the type that depends on others to fix your problems when you get in a
pickle, Firefox might be best for you.

 

[Allen McGuire]

PS. Check US-CERT also - notice the number of Mozilla vulnerabilities
versus IE ones. And, if how do you deploy updates for Firefox? Oh, that's
right, it hasn't even come close to being accepted in the business place.
Hmm...

Just not true. Show us some links to backup your statement. Anyone who
boldly claims that FF is more secure than IE really doesn't know much about
web browsers.
