IE 7 has got nothing on Firefox. I'm not much of a computer expert, but even I know that Firefox has nowhere near as many vulnerabilities as IE. Secondly and most importantly for me, features-wise they may be similar but Firefox has the added benefit of millions of plugins already available that do pretty much anything so long as you take the time to find it. That in my opinion is the reason why Firefox is superior. IE may be open-sourced or whatever, but being open-sourced is useless if the community doesn't or have yet to contribute anything to the program. Also, most of the "new" features of IE have already been done in firefox anyway, like tabbed browsing or RSS news feeds. Right now i have around 18-20 plugins on my Firefox right now and I don't see IE being able to match that anytime soon (at least in terms of useful plugins).
