Some key reasons to consider switching from IE to Firefox - security, security, security. Your office has firewall restrictions? They should thank you for downloading Firefox - it will leave your entire system less vulnerable. Talk to your IT support staff if you need clearance to download it. Seriously.

Here's a few screenshots of what it will look like (and how all of your information is handled) when you switch from IE to Firefox. NOTE: Once you've installed Firefox, you can still use IE as little or as much as you want; installing one won't uninstall the other.

Tap into the power of the Web’s most popular search engines with the built-in Search bar, and easily add new engines.
5
Here's the range of seach engines that you can add to that handy search engine bar - select as many or as few as you wish. Search the BBC News site, Amazon, Wikipedia - you name it!

One of the most handy features about Firefox is that it allows you to open new Web pages as tabs, rather than as separate windows. The benefit? Less memory usage and fewer task icons to try to sort through in the toolbar at the bottom of your screen.
7
Want to make those tabs even easier to navigate? Download this "Add-on" to Firefox and you get colorful tabs.
8
As the paragraph above says, you can gain powerful functionality to your browser by dowloading various extensions. Note the padlock at the bottom of your browser bar; this denotes that you are on a securte site. Every Add-on that you download is 100% secure, so you don't have to worry about bugs, viruses or other pesky problems as with IE.

For those of you who are Internet Explorer die-hards (and who are still with us), this is an indispensible Add-on. You can toggle back and forth between Firefox and Internet Explorer in the same window with a simple click!
