It's good. I always used firefox for everything. It is nice because there are a lot of extensions and it is easy to make your own extensions. I think that's why I like it more than opera. Oh and Internet Explorer NEVER EVER. I got firefox some years ago because people said IE wasn't safe and today I actually see how unsafe it is.

I tired the Firefox 2 is better than the previous versions, but it crashed several times during my testing, but now I dont like it no more because IE 7 with more features is back and now it offers Tabbed Browsing faster page rendering and a lot of new exciting features.

Firefox is great. But I think it still requires some improvement. IE7 is also good but I would prefer Firefox with some changes in settings which I have found from a magazine here in India.

Truefusion -- I know exactly what you mean about the loading thing. That is why i tried firefox 1 for about a week then got tired of it then went to IE 6 and IE 7 mostly just because of the loading time, but then I don't know who, but someone said my site didn't work on Opera. I then downloaded it and got hooked. The one and ONLY downfall is that it has many problems with sites because people do not test for Opera browsers. Even my teachers were like you use Opera!
The spell check never worked for me. I installed it, but yes, it had tabbed browsing, and the dictionary and spell check before along with loading time and safer browsing. By the way truefusion i use firefox 2 now because the loading time is nothing at all seriously. |

I feel that FireFox 2.0 is good but it is still not matchable to Internet Explorer 7... You can say that IE copied Fx's tab features but not only has IE done that, other browsers have it too... And its the matter of who does it better, and IE 7.0 really entice me.. The larger screen view of the website instead of toolbars all over the top really makes my browser looks more neater, and more customable.. I still would stick to IE, but would occasionally use Fx to test out stuff or maybe play with it!

I will have to try it out. I still am a IE fan because i like how all pages look good in it rather than just some. I used firefox 1.x to test my pages and i also tested them in opera. I guess i will have to download the new version to spell check my pages along with make sure they look ok in it.

FireFox is really good but I use Internet Explorer most of the time.
As I am making some sites, I can test them on Firefox to see if it looks good. FireFox also seems to load faster than Internet Explorer at times... |

I LOVE FF2. The spell checker is awesome, and the new features are sweet. Only thing I dont like is that the close tab thingy on each tab, a bit harder than where it used to be. Well otherwise its awesome!
