The Bottom Line	Firefox's tabbed browsing, RSS support, security features, and overall cool factor make it more attractive than Internet Explorer.	If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.		Microsoft's release should retain its browser base but doesn't yet have enough to lure loyal Firefox users back to Internet Explorer.
