Anything but IE Firefox has the most addons avalaible and as stated above noscript is very good at stopping things get on to your pc0
-
Firefox, with Noscript, Adblock plus, and betterprivacy addons.0
-
As above, Firefox with Adblock etc and Ebay sidebar if you buy/sell stuff on there.0
-
And Firefox has a free spell check add-in (with non-English languages available too) that would cost money for the equivalent plug in. Not to mention the free password manager add-in that is nearly as good as IE's paid for equivalents.0

Internet Explorer 9 apparently.0 -
Firefox will happily run alongside IE, so try both and see how you get on with them. You are a bit more in control with Firefox and the NoScript extension though. Depends how many possibly threatening sites you may visit.
