*shrug* Firefox is much faster for me. Besides, even if it wasn't, I'd choose a slow browser over a browser full of security issues anyday.

Firefox is slow because of the large number themes and extensions that we install in Firefox. If you remove all of these, then, firefox is equally fast during its loading. However, more that being fast it is important for a browser to be stable. IE is not while both Firefox as well as Opera are. Opera takes the lead in this.. Try to open about ten tabs in all these browsers and you will find the difference in stability.

I find Mozilla Firefox is by far and away the fastest and the best. IE is too slow and is riddled with problems. Some say Opera is great too, but I need to test it more.
