Firefox May be Better, But Internet Explorer is Entrenched Firefox May be Better, But Internet Explorer is Entrenched. Jon Udell says Firefox fills the IE void by being a better browser than Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which has stagnated since Microsoft destroyed serious competition in the browser business.
