I have firefox on my laptop, and I've had it for over a year, maybe two and a half?
Anyways, I love it. I use all the keyboard short cuts, I've customized it, and I love the way it looks.
I absolutely hate Internet Explorer.
It looks ugly, and I can't find anything, it just bothers me.
Recently my dad's been asking me to uninstall FireFox from my laptop.
He says that IE is way better, and FireFox sucks.
It's my laptop, only I use it, so that's one of my arguments, but I can't think of others, I can't just say ''It's better'' because he'll want an explanation on how it's better.
Please someone help me in this situation?
By the way, I don't want any IE supporters telling me to get IE. That's not my question :)

Your dad has to prove to you the EI is better.
Seriously, turn this around on him. Tell you LIKE FireFox. If he thinks you should use IE he needs to come up with a compelling argument for it. It shouldn't be your job to convince him, it is his job to convince you.
Once he starts coming up with reasons he thinks IE is better, you can do some google searching and have an actual discussion about Firefox and IE with him. If all he has to say is that FireFox sucks, that isn't a good enough reason and you are free to say so. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
