I love mozilla firefox. It is so cool and has many add-ons you can use to control what can or cannot invade upon your computer. I have been using firefox for 2 years. Before that, it was IE.
What's yours and why and how long have you been using it?
I just hated netscape browser. It was cumbersome and it didn't read many webpages correctly.

I prefer Opera, because it's very fast, small in size, & packed with dozens of functions by default. Firefox was nice, but the later version is just getting worst... IE just plain junkware, it's the slowest, lack of useful functions, & so outdated compare to the other major browsers!
By the way, early Firefox is based on Netscape browser. But the later version 8 & 9 of Netscape is based on Firefox.

I love to use internet explorer. Alot of sites that I am joined with require the use of it also. I have tried firefox but it did not work very good with my computer so I changed back to internet explorer. I have Netscape also and never use it either because it just isn't capable of what I need.

i'm currently using firefox too. it's pretty cool. however, there was one time i was checking out a website and it said that it has detected that i'm not using IE so it cannot show me the link. too bad. i still didn't get IE though... i'm happy and contented with my firefox. :)

my favourite browser is firefox. i've been using it for a few years now and hardly use IE already. started using firefox because of the tabbed browsing; coz i dont like to have so many IE windows cluttered on my taskbar. although IE now has tabbed browsing but i'm still sticking to firefox

Mozilla Firefox
I have been using firefox since it was named Firebird. It is fast and tabbing does the surfing alot easier.
Advantages:
+ Extensions
+ Tabbing
+ Themes
+ Fast
+ Shows website as it should (IE doesnt show some sites right)
Disadvantages:
- A bit slow to start up, but why shut Firefox down?
- Firefox 2.** can use alot of memory after a couple of days.

Firefox !! Hmmm.. I would prefer Firefox than Internet Explorer. Why? It's because Firefox has stolen my heart first with it's 'tab'. And now when IE get older, he try to do the same thing.

I loved the tab browsing myself. I think IE is just a junk malware collector myself. It makes me so frustrated because I can't choose to turn off scripts and just allow content as I need to view it. That is why I like Firefox. NoScript is an awesome add-on too!

I agree. Firefox is safer to use and it gives you more control over what you want to see. If people took the time to customize it for what they use a browser for and to get the add-ons and the plug-ins for what they need to use, they will find the internet a much happier, safer and faster experience!
