1) Firefox is already miles better

cleaner
secure
no pop ups
google search built in
tabs
easy to clean all the cache crap

2)MS have never set a standard in their lives. They try to achieve a monopoly position in markets other than the OS where they already have a monopoly by creating non standard MS stuff like active x and wmv and hoping that thick users think they have to use MS for these things even tho their are better alternatives
