hi, firefox is always good with a lot of extensions and pluggins. more than thinking of sounds that web visum makes think of its utility. interms of security is concerned its development faze is quicker than I.E is concerned. in open source all bugs get rectified soon with a lot of professionals working onit than the one which is developed by one single company. we do have popup blocker and fishing protection and it is faster when compared to I.E. more over it wont gets strucked or does not stop responding when a web page encounters a problem while it is being loaded.
