Why Firefox?

You guys that use Firefox browsers, am I missing out on something? Does it just make browsing faster or what? When I click to go to a web page, the page loads full in about 1.5 sec. I can download a song in about 3-7 sec. Granted, I have a very fast connection speed (1.75 MB/sec), but this is due to how close I am to the Verizon server or whatever. It's only 1800' away. It seems some websites don't support Firefox so what's the advantage. Tell me the scoop. ;)

I've had a lot of trouble with IE in the past.  Pages took too long to load and even froze up completely.  Firefox is IMHO 10000x better than IE.  I haven't had any issues with is performance.  Firefox also has hundreds of add-ons that allow you to customize your browser.

firefox is awesome, for best opinion go to mozilla.com and check out the addons that are available

I have used firefox for years now.   I orignally moved from IE fro security reasons.  Most bugs are intended to get thru IE programing.  FF is FREE, Written by the smartest non-microsoft geeks out there, and imune to alot of common viruses.  Plus it is fast.  I still have IE on my computer for that 1 out of 100 sites that don't support it, but through the years I have seen that number come down dramatically.

Also, there is a Firefox addon called "IE view", which allows you to right click and pull up the current page in IE for that seldom page that isn't supported in Firefox.

I switched to FF about three years ago after I had so much spyware that I had to hire a guy to clean up my computer. These days it's a rarity to come across a site that doesn't support it.

I down loaded it, but I can't find my favorites to click on? You are

right it does seem to be faster.

Give Camino, another mozilla offering, a spin. I like it even better than Firefox.
