Firefox still -great add ons that could change your browsing experience. I would also suggest, if you dont mind, Chrome for a much cleaner interface
IE 10 or Firefox?

Chrome for a multi-threaded browser that has most of the features you would need for a browser. The features are as follows:
-Multi-threaded(meaning each tab gets its own thread). Firefox doesn't have this, cause Mozilla decided to dump it. However, it can take longer to start depending on the situation.
-Bookmarks bar at the top, which saves space compared to the bookmarks mini window that Firefox has, but can show less bookmarks.
-Able to sign in directly to Chrome with a Google account, meaning any service that uses Google can auto sign-in.
-Able to sync all settings, bookmarks, history, saved passwords, themes and apps/extensions.
-Pinned tabs. Firefox also has this.
-Auto updating add-ons provided the add-on is from the Chrome webstore. Firefox doesn't have this I believe.
-Easy forward, backward and reload/stop buttons. While Firefox does have a reload/stop button, it's smaller than what Chrome uses. Thus, I won't label it as a feature.
-Omnibar, which is able to directly search bookmarks, history and the web using the search engine specified.
-Able to open as many tabs as needed without having to scroll through the tabs, though it's not quite handy for over 20-30 tabs in a single window.
-Chrome webstore.
On the other hand, Firefox is still on a single-thread browser. The features are as follows:
-Single-threaded. While slower for a few tabs, it's faster for many tabs.
-Bookmarks mini window. Can show all bookmarks, but not as handy as Chrome's bookmarks bar.
-Does not auto-update. So users don't have to worry about some updates breaking the browser.
-All pages in a thread and extensions in another. On the other hand, Chrome has each page on a thread individually while all extensions do not get their own thread.
-Pinned tabs. Chrome also has this.
-Easy access to downloads button. Chrome doesn't have this.
-"Omnibar", though not quite as fast as Google when it comes to web searches.
-Home button, though you don't quite need that.
-Independent search bar, though it's quite redundant.
-Tab scrolling. Not quite handy cause it starts when a number of tabs depending on your resolution are open without any pinned tabs. However, it comes in useful if you need to see a small title of what each tab is when you have at least 30-40 tabs open in a single window.

Firefox is obviously better than IE10.
Firefox is much more faster with variety of addons which makes work very simple. You can get any information by just a click of your mouse if you have the right addon installed. It also has various other characteristics which make it much more reliable and faster than our Microsoft IE.
They are more user friendly and are more prone to multitasking.

I'm honestly not sure how IE could still go on like that if they know they are somehow inferior to Firefox or Chrome. I mean, we're up to latest versions but this battle has been going on forever, yet I don't think we've seen huge improvements to IE which would bring its position to be at least equal to those browser monsters.
That being said, the only time I used IE was to download either Firefox or Chrome, so I'm sure you know what I have voted for. XD

Chrome all the way but Firefox is a little better about being so obnoxious about privacy related issues. *Shakes fist at Google*

firefox here! \m/
Except the fact that GC performs extremely poorly under heavy loads. I run hundreds of tabs at once -- Over one thousand, to be precise. I cannot run Chrome because it is:Doctor Greek said:
1. Too minimalist
2. Poorly performing under loads
3. Crashes my PC easily under heavy tab counts

That's very surprising because my 5-year-old laptop can run Chrome with over 30 tabs just fine. Try doing that in Firefox, however, and you might as well not bother.
Firefox is more of a resource hog than Chrome.
As a web developer, I would say I prefer Firefox over the two for its extended support of all HTML5 and CSS3 goodness. IE is getting there, but it shouldn't take this long. And we still need to wait for IE 8 to phase out.

Firefox follows most of the W3C Standards.

I don't care if Microsoft paid me, and, gave me free porn for the rest of my life just to use IE. I would still tell them where to stick their IE. FIREFOX!
