How does an IPS differ from a traditional firewall?

A firewall enforces rules about what traffic is allowed based on source, destination, port, and protocol. An IPS inspects the content of allowed traffic for signs of attack and blocks malicious activity even when it comes through legitimate connections. The two technologies complement each other: firewalls handle policy enforcement, IPS handles threat detection within permitted traffic.
