03-15-2006, 01:09 PM

i downloaded it because i was having problems loading nfl.com in IE. ok cool, it now works in firefox, but now i'm checking out a dozen different sites and i am not noticing any speed difference with firefox at all. even gfy still loads the same.

in my opinion firefox is just ok, but nothing special

the advantages I see are the popup blocker, the ability to save passwords, ability to open multiple tabs in one window.

I have discovered that I rely on it a lot more than I ever did with MSIE.

popups never bother me and i dont really care about passwords. however i kind of do like the tabbed browsing but i heard that the next IE is gonna have it too

The advantages are popup blocker and tabbed browsing. it is 10000x times easier to manage. I was the same way at first, but now i never use IE unless a site doesnt work in firefox. usually because im too lazy to install the plugin for it.

trust me, you'll get used to it and never go back

I don't like it either.. I use Opera or IE myself. The IE popup blocker that came with SP2 seems to do the job for most popups.

As I have literally hundreds of different passwords for sites that I must visit on a regular basis it is probably the singlemost important feature in my book.

Tabs are the only reason why I use Firefox.

Oh, and also because it doesn't crash as often as IE.

I'm just a newbie.

I like Firefox because it works smoothly and never causes me problems. Plus it isn't Microsoft, which alone makes me like it.

You can't beat the tabs and plug ins. IE will never have the amount of useful plugs that Firefox has.

I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

Tabs, it IS faster, excellent plugins and more.

If you think Fox is not running faster - check this link:
http://www.linuxtechs.net/make_firefox_faster

There is no comparison with IE - IE is a magnet for viruses and adware.

Spend three days getting the "habit" of FireFox and doubt you'll ever go back!

As a developer I think IE is a piece of shit. They can't figure out how to follow standards, causing all sorts of extra work to make shit show up right.

I use FireFox 92% of the time, Opera 6% and MSIE 2% of the time. Basically I only use IE to see how my sites look in it.

What makes it special is it is functional. IE is, always has been and always will be a piece of insecure, worthless shit. Firefox is cool because it is lightweight, customizable and most of all, privacy conscious.

I cant stand to use IE. Every browser alternative out there has pretty much had its feature set beat for a long time. IE is good at rendering incorrect HTML though, i'll give it that. Although i think itd would be good for the web and standards if it wasnt.

Honestly one of the number one things that bugs me about IE is the pop up blocker software available for it. Most other browsers with pop up blocking have 'intelligent popup blocking'. The annoying popups are the ones that pop up in addition to the link you clicked on. If the link itself is a popup, popup blockers shouldnt block it. Every popup blocker I have used for IE cant seem to figure that out. Its annoying to no end.

The tabbed browsing and password storing features are great, but all the extensions are what make it shine.

the ability to open multiple tabs in one window is one advantage of FF vs. IE. And yes the passwords are hassle free.

In IE, you can only store usernames and passwords in password prompt windows generated by .htaccess. With Firefox, you can store the user/pass automatically in most login forms (for example, when logging on to a message forum or to an affiliate program to check your stats).

I didn't understand the hype about tabbed browsing either and didn't bother to make the switch to Firefox until IE fucked up big time on my PC last April. Once you get used to tabbed browsing, you'll love it. Trust me.

Izzz, have you tried tweaking the Firefox settings (about:config) for speed? You will notice a BIG difference with the right settings. Also, a HUGE benefit to Firefox are all of the extensions available for it; go check them out some time:

Firefox sucks big time. It's very slow compared to Mozilla Suite (which I am using).
It's a shame that they don't develop the suite anymore. Finest browser ever.
