Im working on my laptop now which still had IE (i had Opera on the desktop) and i switched to Firefox 2 days ago. Im very pleased with it.
Im just worried that since more and more people are changing to Firefox its only a matter of time before we start getting the same shit as with IE. At this point hackers/crackers/idiots are not interested in the potential holes in Firefox but that will change soon i guess.

yeah i think you're right. i've had my firefox hijacked once before and got a toolbar on it but it was easy to remove.
"I try to make a habit of bouncing my eyes up to the face of a beautiful woman, and often repeat “not mine” in my head or even verbally. She’s not mine. God has her set aside. She’s not mine. She’s His little girl, and she needs me to fight for her by keeping my eyes where they should be."
umm don't you think it maybe your internet connection that is making pages load faster. really it doesn't matter what browser is used once it's open pages load depends on net speed
Do any of you guys know if there is a shortcut to the pop-up settings? A few versions ago you could hit F12 to turn pop-up blocking off. Then, I would check my exit pops (for the six surfers in alabama without pop-up blockers) and turn it off afterward. Now, it seems I have to go through the prefs.

Firefox is a stand alone program... IE is not and therefore have much more system security issues

The HTML has to be rendered to what you see on the screen. Lot's of room for optimalisations.
BTW, I think this versions speed comes close to IE.
