I've been using the internet for couple of years and everything worked fine. However, since few months ago, I could not defend from viruses. I even reinstalled my OS but it did not help me any longer. No more then day or two on the Internet and I have the same problems. Now some web pages will not display. Is Firefox better then IE and could I use it to send mails?

There are other browsers beside the explorer and one of the most popular is Firefox. Of course, you can use it to send mails. However, is Firefox security better then explorers is questionable. Many users think that they are better and safer. I personally do not think that because I am also spending much time on the Internet with explorer and I do not have any problems. You just need some reliable anti-spyware and anti-virus protection. If you have XP, you will also need SP 2 to be installed. All those things will not slow your machine much and will give you enough protection. About your problem with opening some web pages, I do not think that explorer is responsible for that. It could be, either, a problem with your provider or, which is more probably, those pages are infected and your anti-virus software or your firewall blocks your access to those pages.
