What he said, all the way down to the job's web portal part.
It's more secure, and there are additional security add-ons for cookie management (3rd party cookies, viewing cookies, etc) and other stuff.
It has a built in find command that highlights the first occurrence of the word as you type. It has a built in spell checker so I don't have to use Word if I'm typing a reply on a message board text box and need to check spelling.
I have a 'read later' add on that is like a temporary bookmark, so I can go through my news feeds, mark them to be read later instead of adding and deleting bookmarks.
I have a 'locate on Google Maps' add on so I can highlight text and right click to go to a Google map. I have Googlepedia which shows the Google search results on the left and the Wikipedia search result on the right... one of the best add ons ever! :D
I love the ad-block and the add-on that goes with ad-block to block text ads. I can get rid of the top quarter of some websites (like ESPN.com) and the right column of adds in most news sites. There's also a flash block add on to hide flash until you tell it to show it.
Oh, and there's a super-ignore add on, too. Very important. :)
