Firefox hands down is the best and blows IE out of the water. It blocks ads, very secure, resuming downloads and many other things.

And Firefox is not as heavy on system resources. Loads quicker than IE. And it's not full of spyware holes.

LOL it's more hungry than IE.
Open up task manager and you'll se that it takes around 30-50 MB of RAM and another 30-50 of virtual memory.

Hmm.. Not on my machine anyway. IE takes up 32881 kB and Firefox "just" 25228 kB. And my Windows install is just two weeks old. Well loads quicker anyway.
