MercFirefox or IE, Which do you prefer to use when surfing the net?

Microsoft's inbuilt web browser IE was at the top of the market until FireFox proved that a better, reliable browser was possible to create and require a small amount of space.
I personally prefer Mozilla FireFox because of the inbuilt pop up blocker that comes with it. Although as IE updates further, the features for MSN Messenger live on the tool bar are impressive. You can see who is online or check email just with one click of the tool bar. Another new feature is the Forum filler, which will automatically fill out forums for you. Very simple.
FireFox still dominates IE with one simple feature, the inbuilt google search bar. You never know how many times you actually use google until you use that feature. Ever accidentaly closed a page with IE, then have to search through history to find it again? Well FireFox offers a 'Go' option which displays a brief list of the history in a drop panel.
In my opinion FireFox makes searching and browsing the net a lot easier, not to mention quicker. FireFox has my vote.

I use firefox, although features like google and popup-blocker are available in IE too, but all the other extensions are far as many in IE. You can have special commands for the tab-bars, and mouse gestures and all that nice and cool features in firefox.
The only thing that really annoys me is the amount of RAM firefox takes. Too bad.

The fact that google does display results that come from forums makes finding the info you need generally easier.
I don't deny that the IE browser has some good search features, along side many other tool bar options, but I simply prefer FireFox.
