There are a number of known security issues with Internet Explorer. Firefox addresses these issues. When security issues with Firefox are detected, they’re addressed very rapidly. Unless the security weakness is glaring and huge, updates to Internet Explorer can take as much as a week, if not more.
Firefox is also much faster at opening websites than Internet Explorer. Now, Waterfox is even faster than Firefox. I ran a quick little test on a few different websites with complicated graphics, colored backgrounds, and a large amount of text. Internet Explorer took, on the average almost ten seconds to launch and open my homepages, and another five to seven seconds to open the web pages. Firefox 9.01 took seven seconds to launch and about five seconds to load the test pages. Waterfox launched and opened my three homepages in about three seconds and opened the test pages in about three seconds. Pages that were heavy on text and light on graphics opened almost immediately.Download it from here
