Lemme know what you think abou the Mozilla Firefox browser.
I personally think it out runs Microsoft Internet Explorer mainly cos of the convenience of having all the windows in one main window, plus enhanced security features.
What do you think?
Cheers!

Isn't this kind of in the wrong place? Anyway, Firefox is great in my opinion. I find that web pages load much faster when i use Firefox. I don't know if this is the same for everyone, but it is definately the case for me. I would vote Firefox over anything.

Not only that, but tabbed browsing is a miracle. The themes, the extensions, the security...it's all wonderful. And true...a post about Firefox should be in the Internet forum, not the Gaming forum. But I'm not nitpicky :0

I love it, I couldn't work without it. I just reinstalled windows XP Pro yesterday, and while waiting to redownload my saved files from my home network main computer, i had about 1 hour of time without any of my games, and only IE. even though I had the firefox installer in my documents, whicih was being sent over, I couldn't stand using IE and had to in turn download firefox without waiting the 30 minutes - 1 hour. IE was just as I remembered it: craptastic. I think it looks ugly, too many popups, and most of all I HATE those "Do you want to trust this content from this company?" popup ads, they piss me off, especialy when i accidently hit "Yes" once, and it remembered my decision so I got hella lot of spyware. FF >>>>>...>>>>>> IE FF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....>>>>>>>>>>>> All Only thing that comes remotely close is safari.

I felt the same way. I got a load of spyware from those popups. They even bypassed my google toolbar. And there was no censor on some of them. It was a horrible experience. If I had a mac, I would get Safari without a second thought. I hate all the sites that say at the bottom of their webpage, "Requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v.6.0 to enter". By then, it's not worth it anymore.

I used IE for so long before finding firefox. it rocks not to have 20 or 30 windows open at the same time. security is a hell of a lot better. even with tweaks, though, it takes forever to load. however, this is more than counterbalanced by the speed with which it loads pages. also, keeps pages in memory, unlike IE, so when you hit the back button, no waiting for those stupid images to load once again.

I hope Mozilla will become as popular as Explorer and people realize that is much better browser... and safer and faster like the advertisement banners say. The only thing Microsoft does is copying in each new version more features of Firefox. I bet the next version will include "tabs" which is the better point of Firefox browser. Having 20 opened windows is very stressing. When free source software has better quality than paid, means that a company is not doing his work well.

MS got lazy when they overtook Netscape and had no real competition. For years, IE has changed so very little. Safari changed everything for Mac with tabbed browsing, a built-in pop-up blocker and search bar. Firefox brought those changes to PC, and it's about time. Wonder how long before we see Safari for PC?

For my needs, Opera is much better.True it isn't quite as compatible with fancy websites as Firefox is, but it's much faster and makes browsing easier and more enjoyable to me. It just seems more streamlined imo. I haven't customized Firefox much though, I don't need to. Opera's great.

I find Firefox so much of a convenience when browsing with multiple tabs. Internet Explorer gets unresponsive with multiple tabs loading pages. When Chrome was initially released, I gave it a shot but it's got a problem with the way the TextArea (multi-line textbox) elements are handled and since most of my online experience involves typing text into a TextArea element, I just had to give it a thumbs down. I had the same experience with the second release of Chrome, but I guess it will take them a while since most users are just casual surfers. Among other browsers, I would recommend Safari and Opera. Safari lacks a bit in keyboard shortcuts and so isn't as good for data entry. Opera is great for older computers - it even runs on my old P-II on Windows 98 with 64MB RAM.
