Firefox is nice because of tabbed browsing. Thats my only plus factor for it. Everyone says its good with security, but if you do a google search, you'll find plenty of flaws. Just unfortunately that Firefox is just entering the game. It'll be just a matter of time when people will starting turning their attention from trying to crack Internet Explorer to Firefox.

Firefox good for everyday browsing, but it has it's own problem when it come to viewing video and playing games in the browser.

ive been using firefox about 6 months now.

far better than IE

dont have to worry about virus getting installed through your web browser. tabber browsing. pages acctually load quicker. plug ins for diffrent things. and much more....firefox FTW!!!

I've been using firefox for a while now. I love the whole tab window thing, like DP said. I like it a lot better than IE. To me, it does seem "safer". Actually it is. The whole d/l videos and other stuff is pretty annoying to get used to, and yea it does have problems playing videos. At least for me it does. I have to reload the page if i want to watch the video again

But i still like it better :goodjob:

I switched about 2 years ago to Firefox, and haven't looked back since. Lots of reason got me to switch, and supposedly IE is alot better than it used to be... but there aren't any big reasons for me to switch back.

Wow, kind of ironic. I had just made the post about how great Fire Fox was and stuff. And then it freezes up on me!!! :lmfao: It's never frozen up on me!! :rant:

LOL weird :lmfao:

IE has an MSN toolbar now that adds tabbed browsing to it. I still favor Firefox over IE though, but I use IE more often because it handles all the videos and flash plugins no prob.

Well see...

Input?

1. Tabbed browsing.
2. Plugins
3. Not affected by many (most) browser exploits as most exploit creators focus on IE...
4. Being able to configure how the browser behaves (type about:config in the address bar)

Those alone should keep you with FireFox 1.5...

FireFox>>>>>>>>>>>>>Netscape, AOL, Internet Explorer (ALL COMBINED)

And if you do the little hack thats floating around.. It works like a charm..

well if any of you still like IE... get avant browser... It uses the IE core, but is just like an add-on type of thing... better security and more features though. It's just like firefoxing the hell out of IE and making it look cool... lol
its like 1mb

www.avantbrowser.com

i still like mozilla though..
