Is the Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome browser better for Moodle?
All browsers seem to work equally well well with the Moodle program. There are is a small quirk that seem to exist as of June, 2011, between these browsers.
If you are copying and pasting from MS Word into a text area in the Moodle program, the MS Word material will have a lot of formatting (strange characters and text) associated with it. It does not appear as you create the material but sometimes does appear when the the finished entry is viewed. Sometimes this is a problem when using the internet Explorer browser and is a problem more often with other browsers. Regardless of your browser, the text boxes have a formatting icon (second row fifth from the right) that is the icon for an MS Word document and if you hover your mouse over the icon it is a "Paste from Word" icon. Regardless of your browser, if you are pasting from MS Word, click on this icon, paste your text into this window, and then click the insert button and the text will be pasted in correctly.
