Well I finally broke down and installed Firefox today. My friends have been at me for a while to do it. Well I'm a creature of habit. And I've always said "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". This is what I discovered. IE is broken. Firefox is such a better browser. Sure the new IE looks a lot like Firefox, but once you open it up and and really start working with it. You will quickly see that looks are very deceiving. The option and add ons that Firefox has makes it a much more superior browser. I'm sure there are a lot more goodies to it that I haven't even seen yet. I just had to tell everyone that, if you haven't tried Firefox, you should. It loads faster, the security on it is awesome, and it has a spell check built into it. If you are are as unfortunate as I and still have to use dial up, you will love the speed of Firefox. The web pages load at least twice as fast.

Try Firefox Extensions, they are plugins for the browser that give you all kind of cool tools.

I understand that everyone likes different browsers. I personally like internet explorer.
However, I dont like that websites look different in each browser. It makes it really hard as a designer to make a website look the same on each browser.
I think they should all get together and at least make it so they all read websites the same, it would be a big help to designers.

Firefox is way better. IE sucks in my experience Internet Explorer is very slow when connecting to the internet and often has errors when viewing a certain websites. This doesn't happen to Internet Explorer before its only recently. While Firefox has may features to make it easy to look for what i want on the internet, particulary the Find feature at the bottom of the browser wherien you can type a key word on it and it will higlight on the web page .

I am using IE all the time and I did not meet the problems that you met. I feel that IE is pretty good because I haven't tried fox until now. If Firefox is as good as you described, I think I should have a try on FireFox. We should never miss good things.

I am using Firefox since Juy 2005. At first i was awestruck for its multi tab facility also it is much more secure than the IE. Many of my online friends had lost money due to lack of security in the IE. And there are so many cool extension and plug-ins which will make your net experience a bliss. But on the con side Firefox uses more resources than IE which slows down a system a bit. But many like me like the security and features offered by Firefox over speed offered by IE.

i think the internet explorer is the basic.all the other explorer are used the kernel of the internet explorer.for example firefox ,operal,tencent explorer,maxthon,and any other explorers.the third party explorer ia usually better than internet explorer.

Hi BDnLacy, I like mozilla firefox because it is much secured when compared to internet explorer. It has an advanced security feature which makes it safe to use. I like also the add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions of mozilla, thus making it more useful. However, I also used IE because there are some websites that cannot be opened by mozilla, so I used it rarely.
Have a nice day and God speed!

I fully agree with you ! Mozilla Firefox 2 rocks! It's the best browser on earth I think :D. I love using firefox extensions, like Paste and Go, or Fasterfox an extension that speeds up loading of web pages! You should try this extension! You forgot to say that Firefox is much more secure than Internet Explorer. I don't trust anymore surfing with Internet Explorer. Get firefox because is faster than IE, reliable and funny!

I am with you, I love Firefox, and I'd never go back to internet explorer. I hate internet explorer and it'll be a cold day in the underworld before I install the latest version. My boyfriend told me to avoid I E 7 at all costs, and he knows, because he's worked in computers all his life.

I gave up on Internet Explorer a long time ago and have loved FireFox ever since. Firefox allows me to have plug-ins for things I like to do such as search engine optimization and that makes it all worthwhile for me.
Plus I love the tabs feature instead of having multiple windows open.
And it seems like Microsoft is constantly sending updates day after day. What's up with that Billy G.
