I just downloaded FireFox and it's a lot better than I expected. It said it uses Mozilla so I thought it was identical to the one that AOL-Netscape uses. I was wrong!

Mozilla was released by Netscape for developers to develop in public rather than in private. Ever since they were released, open-source community dove into that opportunity to innovate (improve) that software and it became more and more reliable ever since. AOL-Netscape is still properitary, hence the reason why it was outdated. You're right in that Mozilla was identical to Netscape because Mozilla came from Netscape. Only BETTER!

FireFox gives you the option to either block or not to block pop-ups. It is programmed to block them by default. It also gives you the option to prevent FireFox from automatically install softwares or to allow it. By default, it prevents automatic installation. IE uses ActiveX technology which allows web sites to install softwares for you and any web sites that uses spyware use ActiveX technology without letting you know that it took place. That is where we find benefits of FireFox and other advanced browsers.

Firefox DO NOT PREVENT spyware or viruses if you decide to download them yourself. Firefox do not do it without your permission untill you tell it to do otherwise.
 
Since i used to work with these nerds,
they actually worshipped Mozilla-Firefox
more than Opera. I tried both, but
I like Firefox better than Opera.
