You should use the browser Prof Bear B Doll tells you to use.

Bear said

"It uses it's own built in Browser though I'm not sure what it is. "

and

"unless you want to use the browser without addons, the browser is unsafe"

From the site (for Windows users):

"At the end of the day, both Chrome and Firefox are excellent web
browsers for Windows, and you can't go wrong with either. From our
perspective, more and more power users seem to be swapping happily to
Chrome from Firefox (several Lifehacker editors have made this switch
and haven't looked back), and their switch has been spurred mostly by
the bloat issues mentioned above. If you've been frustrated with
Firefox, we'd recommend kicking the tires and Chrome to see how you like
it; you can always switch back if you decide your heart lies with Firefox.

If, on the other hand, you're perfectly happy with Firefox, we don't see
any reason to upset a good thing. (If it ain't broke and all that.)"

There is no browser you should use.
There is only the browser
that fits your needs, requirements and desires the best.

Have a look at this one, I use it and as far as I am concerned it is
number one,fast and it will open a new tab for every page you go to not
like the other so called tab browsers and it has a great downloader as
well
http://www.ioage.com/twen/
it is called The world browser.

I do not see it as advantage.

Better is opening new tab
when a user does want so,
and not opening if dont.

I guess if I am not used to FF so much,
I would use Opera. :-)

One of things what keeps me from using Opera is
I have not found yet a way ( not much familiar with Opera )
how to manage blocking ads
by as easy way as Adblock Plus(+helper) FF addon offers.

I suppose it is similar to Proxomithron,
what I used to
when using in past Netcaptor ( when was free)
as one of first tabbed-browsers
and later IE engine based, but otherwise great Maxthon.
