For you, what's the best part of Firefox in comparison to other browsers? For me, it's the extensions. They offer a lot of flexibility that many other browsers don't have. I love how I can have an FTP client within the browser, and like my IRC within it as well. DownThemAll has been a useful download manager, and Adblock and NoScript (my two essentials) consistently save me from internet harrows.

Firefox features the all-too-familiar tabbed browsing feature. No more opening multiple browser windows, eating up your precious RAM and slowing down everything on your computer. While a more recent Explorer version can provide the same feature, Firefox pioneered the idea and there is a definite difference in feel when using tabs in Firefox as opposed to Explorer. Also a very important topic amongst those interested in browsers is that of security. Most studies show Firefox as marginally better in this field as well even though Internet Explorer had years of a head start. This has been partially associated with the way in which Explorer is tied into the operating system while Firefox is a completely independent application. Add-ons are a popular browser feature that enables enhancements to be made to browser by users. Well Firefox does anyway. Internet Explorer is notoriously hard to code add-ons for while Mozilla even provides help in doing so on their website. They welcome users who add functionality to the browser and a much wider range of applications are available, doing everything from music playing to game downloads. Finally, a feature of Firefox exists that is not really a part of the browser on a whole, but is rather a modified version made by users called Firefox Portable. This application allows you to take your browser, along with its history and bookmarks, with you everywhere on a USB Flash Drive.

We have the same reasons. I find it hard to use a bare firefox with out my favorite addons. IE, Opera, Flock has these addon too but none as wide and robust as firefox do and all free! when it comes to customizing a browsing experience - with the of simple script - I would say no one came close to Firefox. Adblock, noscript and CS lite are my browser security addons, I think this is why I don't need a separate active spyware tool, just adaware 2008, AVG and PCtools firewall.
