Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
one is not greater then the other (in some geeky kind of humour), one is different from the other
if you want to do this in FF, you could install the IE-tabs extension, not as good as FF-native (it relies on ActiveX to do this) but at least within FF

Firefox is not the same as IE, hence it would be classified as "other browser". I don't know that Firefox is any "magnitudes greater" than IE. I'm currently using Firefox because I'm used to it and like the layout, but don't know that it is any better than IE or Opera. I've found they all have their pros and cons.
