A browser cannot install itself on a computer without somebody installing it. Somebody NOT something. Firefox does not install itself just out of the blue.
I have used Firefox quite some years now. Very happy with it. OK, it takes ages untill it starts but afterwards it's fast. I experience it faster than IE.
I like Firefox because there are a lot of usefull plug-ins. Something for almost every taste, so to say, and a lot of themes.
Since a while I have installed Chrome. I like it. Almost. I miss some things I am used to but it's ok. It's fast, it loads fast, no problem with sites yet.
Years ago I have used Netscape untill it became very "heavy". Then I switched to Firefox.
I am not using one browser or another because it's more secure than the other. I'm not that paranoic. I'm looking at how easy it is to do things. Firefox had browsing tabs from the beginning. IE didn't. So IE lost the battle with me because one "small thing" that I considered very very usefull.
All the known browsers available now are good. And the best is the one that seems to suit your needs better. There are a lot of Opera users out there who would try to convince the rest that Opera is THE browser. The same goes for Apple's Safary (I tried it too. It's nice, it's new, it's refreshing). But I see no reason for the moment to give up Firefox. I'm too used to it. But, never say never, I'm considering Chrome a very strong candidate :))
