Firefox is a browser just like IE, only better. Firefox is safer and as far as rendering code goes, it's more accurate. The next version of IE that's coming out is supposed to be standards compliant, but for now Firefox is better.

Also, Firefox is customizable. You can download extensions and themes. To that end, yes, Firefox does help with CSS, because there are many, many extensions that let you edit HTML and CSS straight from Firefox, as well as tools that just enhance coding. For example, I have an extension called Colorzilla that lets me get the hex code for any color from anywhere in the window of my browser.

It also uses tabs, so that instead of having three or four windows open, you have only one with three or four tabs open.

Obviously, I like Firefox, so I say get it. At the very least, you can always try it out and then if you don't like it, you can just uninstall it.

(I'm sure here's fine. It is coding related.)

Firefox is amazing for all of Gaia, no problems with the games, loads extremely quickly.

But... It's a complete b***h when it comes to Profiles, No cursors, filters, scroll bars, and can really screw up profiles that are made in IE.

I personally hate ie. The scroll bars being customisable sucks. While it can add a little to the page as far as matching color themes, it just turns out looking crappy because the scroll bars are so flat and un-interesting. Plus, firefox's tabs thing is amazing.

But seriously, you only ever hear about IE having problems with coding. The only reason that things would look messy in firefox would be because IE codes things WRONG. Do you know why? Because it doesn't render things right. Which adds to the whole coding thing, because you have to go around fixing what IE messes up by making an entirely NEW style sheet for JUST IE. That turns into a headache, especially here on gaia, where it's not possible.
