I do not think Firefox is faster than IE. There are more viruses to IE just because it's more popular and Firefox is pretty new. If FireFox occupies 80% of the market, who knows what will happen. It's nothing about ActiveX technology. There is nothing that is bulletproof. - W2 E' ?/ V: ^2 U$ V5 ?9 z- H; N: h9 o" R& \# w
So just choose based on your own needs.
For whatever reason, Firefox should be safer, I am not saying faster though. But spyware/adware can make your computor very slow. Check you folder: 6 T5 i. L1 w* O% N % v/ o6 j/ ?% h!

All of them are just cookies. If you do not like the activeX, in XP, you can just disable it in the IE configuration. # a% e# V& M% V8 L8 \ ; O, R5 {" {+ II am using Mozilla in my Linux and IE in my XP. Besides the muti-tab feature, they are almost the same.

不管什么原因,只要安全就好。。。你说得对,用得多的软件,漏洞多。但是,如果Firefox相对安全(或者说黑客琢磨得少),何尝不是它的一个长处?
