I have heard a lot of people rave about firefox, and im thinking of using it myself, but I want to hear what people think of it before I go and install it

It's a great browser, I've used it for about 9 months now.

The only thing is that the newer version is slightly less stable, but when I used IE it crashed much more.

FF, is one of the best but i still think IE is up at the top of the pile!

ipodman: But IE gets you a lot of spyware.

At least there isn't any spyware for Linux!

Firefox is the ultimate web browser... no spam, no junk, just good clean fast browsing. The only thing I even use IE for is when a site is stuck in the dark ages and doesn't support FF.

D!

I use Firefox for tab browsing. It also has no spyware crap and a popup blocker that works fairly well.

I prefer firefox

It's the best browser in existance, you need to try it to know everything it can do.

Firefox seems to be OK, except when saving web sites, it has probelm saving images, as far as I noticed.....

Its nice.. New FF's are a bit unstable.. but oh well. Try going with Opera 8.51. Thats a nice browser.

I'm sticking to the old ff browser.

IE for the win
FF for the bin
opera - meh

maybe i should explain,

Internet explorer is top for me becuse it just works, crashes in my opinion only occur when people mess too much with their PC's, I run windows XP with IE and have been doing for the past year and have NEVER EVER had it crash, windows explorer has but thats another kettle of fish.

firefox is too slow for my liking, regardless of the tabbed browsing which, has its advantages, just isnt a feature i want to use, "but firefox has a popup blocker" yep so does IE and if you are really that bothered about popups, switch it on high and remember the CTRL key for when you want to have a pop up.

the way i see it, if you are educated enough you dont need to use firefox, i estimate the sheer ammount of people who use firefox reflects how clued up people are about spyware/adware/popups and activex controls, but then again, we cant all be I.T. Techies can we?

Bob_man_UK Why dont you like ff?

its just one of those things, like a game for example, you play anarchy online and it just doesnt have the feel that entices you, you play guild wars or eve online and you know right from the word go you are going to love the game.

Then again, FF isn't built to be all to compatible with MuchoSucks WinBlows. either.
Running Linux, FF is way faster than any other Web browser i've ever tried, and i'we tried alot of them when using... *shiver* ...WinBlows.

And no, we can't all be I.T techies, but we can all use common sence.
