Firefox is generally more secure and its built in pop up blocker helps out quite a bit. I don't think, as a general rule, that you'll see much, if any, performance increase in one browser over the other. Use Firefox most of the time (the tabbed browsing is very cool), but from time to time you'll find a website that doesn't display properly in Firefox and you'll be forced to use IE.
FireFox is the way to go. Unfortunately some people can't figure out how to program for non-IE browsers 
You can have several sites open at once, but they display as tabs in one window instead of in different windows. You just click the tab at the top of your screen to switch between sites.
As a side note, I've heard that IE is going to have tabs in its next version. Also, the yahoo toolbar for IE adds tabs to the screen.
Once you get used to using them, you'll never want to be without them. Just hit CTRL-T on your keyboard to open a new tab. Also, when you are browsing and you see a link you can right click the link and have it open in a new tab. The new tab actually loads in the background instead of taking you away from the page you are currently viewing.

What's the address for one of the pages you are going to where you get a popup using Firefox?
Does Google just not load at all, or does some other page load in its place?GhostZ said:
Try ad-aware and spybot. Soundslike some kind of adware creating those popups.titanfan53 said:

ya it doesnt load at all, but my dad told me today that his isnt working either, and i have wireless connection, so i think its something with his, and im using the tabs and i love them, but aim.com wont come up either, and everytime i try to sign in through aol.com it takes me to a problem loading page this is really annoying, and thank u for ur help so farStarkiller said:
alright guys well my dad fixed it, he had to take something out for 30seconds - 1 min and it fixed the google and aim ordeal thanks for the help guys, and spybot really works, and i remember using firefox before, and i like it a lot better than ie

I wouldn't be able to surf without TAB BROWSING
basically one singular open Browser window can incorporate multiple pages or tabs, whick splay and hide along the toolbar
it's so much better than having 15 open IE Windows
Safari has always used it
FireFox stole the idea but it works well
for anyone using Firefox, it is a stripped down version of Safari
Could have been a malfunctioning router that he unplugged for a bit?
I had a cousin who couldn't get onto AOL and I spent 2 hours trying to get it to no avail. All they had to do was unplug the router for a few seconds...

Mozilla/Firefox has been around much longer than Safari...Puck said:

Linksys routers are notorious for that. I have to unplug our Linksys wireless router about once/week.
I have a netgear that would sometimes lose the entire DSL connection and othertimes only drop the wireless signal. I'd be unplugging it multiple times some days.
Now I have it running as a subordinate to an older linksys router (because it has no wireless) and now the netgear hasn't dropped in months (though 1 ethernet port burned out). I just can't explain it...
