Firefox is awesome. Once you get used to tabbed browsing, you will never go back. The only problem is that some websites aren't set-up for foirefox, so you still need Exploder as a back-up

Agreed, some websites are not maximized for FireFox, but I love it. It'* supposed to be safer than IE too. And tabbed browsing is AWESOME!!! I like the different skins/themes you can use to customize the look too.

I've used it, and still have it, but I mostly use IE. I don't ever have problems with it.

I can't seem to get my website to look the way it should in Firefox. I haven't figured out why. It'* prolly cause Firefox requires valided code, and IE let'* me use all the informal coding.

I scan my machine for spyware every week with AdAware, and I used to find 3 or 4 malicious objects every time. Since I switched to Firefox I pick up nothing every time I scan. It'* a worthwhile switch in my opinion. Plus it'* free, you can't beat that.
