Why is firefox better than IE?

[Sirex]

another + to FF is

it only redraws what it needs to (if the page loads quick enough), ever refreshed a page and watched it?

FF + no script + Macafee SiteAdvisor works wonders.

Haven't read up closely on it but it shows that IE sucks.

I can't think of a single field where IE is better than FF.

Except one: It comes with the Windows OS.

Anyone that hits a site that uses Java/Script will find that FF runs at up to 10X (!!!!) what IE will run it at.
Does that give you a hint at how far IE is behind ?? 10 times faster !! Our teachers use a java based gradebook, and they complain due to the 2 minute load time for it to open in IE. If I told them I could trim that 2 minutes to 15 seconds, do you think they'd keep using IE ??
