Firefox is an absolutely amazing browser. I've been a Mozilla fan since it had a Godzilla logo!

GO FIREFOX!!! I'm actually amazed that Chrome has even 1% (just because it's so new) Cool information, thanks M@X!

Used to use Internet Explorer, but when Explorer started focusing their upgrades on Windows XP(and more), I found Firefox, and gees, it was a great improvement!
Thanks for the stats Max!

I like Firefox, but like Mickeysoft it's started to become a memory eating b*****d this one too.
Have started to use Chrome for some tasks in here now - adding bands and stuff like that. Not inclined to switch over to it completely yet; but for some functions I find it the better choice.

Comparing Internet Explorer to Firefox is like comparing an ice cream truck to a rocket ship.

How is it possible , I just changed from Explorer to Firefox today, and was wondering if there was a topic on PA about browsers, and there's an active topic started today  . I changed to Firefox because I just found out it runs much faster on my pc. Maybe that would change if I'd use a lot of add-ons

being one of those that just clicks "Yes" to all updates and upgrades for Firefox, can i get some advice as to what I should get rid of in its' "toolbox ? I increased my memory by 1.5 , then bought the new Sid Meier's Civ IV, only to find out that this new version (versus the Civ III that I had and enjoyed more) maxed out my computer's new space  .

Unless of course it uses activeX and allows all those silent installers to do their thing!

ActiveX is bad. If you get an email with a virus code, ActiveX will automatically run it and your computer will get infected...
