I have to agree with you on the thread hijaking thing. But I'd like to disagree with some of the points you've stated here, let's go:

QUOTE

and believe it or not, using FireFox doesn't make you any better or any more intelligent than someone who uses Internet Explorer

Er, but if you look at the trail of evidence you'll see just how insecure, useless, standards-incompliant, and over-all disguisting Internet Explorer is when you have all these other more viable alternatives, one can only question your level of intelligence on the grounds of why someone would submit to that kind of torture simply because they trust the brand "Microsoft".

I personally use FireFox, but I know there are other alternatives that do just as well. I just recognize that Internet Explorer isn't one of them.
Let's see,

• Lynx,
• links2,
• Konqueror,
• Galeon,
• Opera,
• Safari (if you have a Mac),
• etc,

Point is, IE sucks, and I hijacked your thread.
Seriously though, thread hijaking = wrong
Ranting because people like FireFox so much = wrong
Ranting because you dissagree with thread hijaking = whatever rocks your cradle

I don't know if people are actually randomly dropping into conversations with "FF RULZ!" though. If FireFox comes up as a topic of discussion in any given thread, is there not the possibility that it's someone's genuine input to the original thread, or that the conversation seemed to have flowed in that direction?

I really doubt someone would randomly join a thread about baking cookies and go, "GET FIREFOX! IE SUCKS!"

You can't really use internet explorer if you have windows xp service pack 2. I mean, javascript sites get all messed up and you just can't use it... that's why i use firefox, but theres nothing wrong with IE, it's nice, i just don't like it

Hi
In my case, i recently started using FireFox. I had a valid reason to do that. I use Intenet Explorer but recently i opened an Aim Mail account. When i try to compose new mail in Internet Explorer, it never give me the compose window. It always showed me a Java Script error in task bar. I tried many times but never able to compose new mail using Internet Explorer at AIM Mail account .
Then i tried something new, installed FireFox and now my mail workinhg fine. No problem at all.
Anyway i have already sent an email to Microsoft regarding this issue.
LOL.

I had never really cared about using firefox.... Until my internet explorer broke, or got hijacked or something. I couldnt connect to any web pages, and after a couple of days it closed it self right after I opened it. Luckily I had downloaded firefox a couple of weeks before and I liked it, then I downloaded a couple of extensions and I liked it more, after this I realized that If I was going to make web pages I should not care about who uses what, and stop the discrimination and make good web pages for all browsers even though I know its going to cost me a whole lot of more time, but in the end it will be worth it in so many ways.

Meh. Since this topic has topic has become into a discussion of the browser itself even though it was cleary asked not to talk about the greatness of the browser in the first place, I'm locking this topic.

I use Firefox all the time but sometimes it stuffs up on my computer like;
automatically closes for some strange reason and some times it dosent even start up. There is also the downside of most websites being designed strictly for IE making them not function the way they should.

Even though FF has a couple of faults it is still ten times better then Internet Explorer, which is way 2 slow, is prone to viruses, downloads dont always work, and the list goes on

firefox is much better than explorer. it is more stable, safer, etc. it even looks better (the logo - ah...)
but i prefer opera it's more user-friendly, take less space on the screen and HD.

I use both, Firefox and Internet Explorer...
Firefox and Internet Explorer have positive and negative sides...
Internet Explorer:
Positive..
Most sites is made for Internet Explorer users.

Negative..
Older versions of Internet Explorer doesn't block popups(surfing on some sites is quite impossible)
You can get lots of viruses.

Firefox:
Positive..
Blocks popups.
Fast.
You wont get lots of viruses form internet.

Negative..
Desing on some sites is very wierd.
Some features what works on internet explorer doesnt work.

When i surf on unknown sites then i use firefox, but i use mostly Internet Explorer
