I use Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2
I use it because I have had many problems in the past with Internet explorer, plus I haven't found a web browser that loads anything faster. I tried Chrome and didn't like that too much, I have Opera on my Wii, but I would prefer being able to use Firefox, at least they would update it every once in a while and provide it for free

From experience I found Opera to be generally faster than Firefox. Opera is more secure, and more stable. Have you tried opening more than 20 tabs on Firefox? Speed wise Opera runs normally. Currently I have Opera 9.64, and Opera 10 Beta 3 with 2 windows open, without any real degradation in speed. Firefox has crashed out on me once too often.
Firefox 3.6 is initially faster than Firefox 3.5.2, but the way it handles memory usage is still below Opera.
Opera is more secure than Firefox. I have had more intrusion, and several successful attempts, whenever I use Firefox, regardless of the version. Nevertheless Firefox is more secure than IE.
I prefer widgets over add-ons. Check the total size of your Firefox after you have installed several add-ons. The skin changing feature is a strong point of Opera, because I prefer certain colours.
There are many other features of Opera of which they were the originators.
I still use other browsers to visit certain sites.

Hey,
Well I actually use Firefox as my preferred internet browser mainly because it is really quite fast. Also one of the huge advantages of Firefox over the other browsers is that Firefox also allows add-ons while the others do not. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I use firefox all the time. It seems to load sites quicker than other browsers- the add ons are cool as well.

I am a huge Firefox fan. I am also using 3.5.2. It is awesome. I prefer it more to Chrome because I think Firefox has more features than Chrome. I have used Opera but I do not know why my PC hangs sometimes when I use Opera. I am sticking with Firefox. It is the best.
