FireFox is awesome! I use it all the time. Except when I need to copy and paste into Excel - I need to break IE out for that. FireFox doesn't work for that, at least with my web stats. But everything else, I prefer FF.

The spell check rocks, because I'm an idiot when it comes to spelling. And FireBug is one of the best plugins I've ever seen. Anybody with a web site needs to check that out.

But I have to admit IE 7 is a huge leap forward compared to IE 666. Version 7 is almost caught up to FireFox.

Yeah I agree with you. IE7 did get a lot better, but it is still a lot slower than FireFox and is lacking some vital features that ff has. And FF will always be more secure...

To me, there is no difference in speed, and i find IE easier to use because I've used it for years, but FF is supposedly more secure, so I keep using it. I downloaded firefox from PTF by the way, and it was extremely easy, people.

Thanks, Joad. Yes, please help support PTF and download firefox from the banner below. And if you already have it, download it anyways! (Just to make sure you have all the latest updates.)

I recently got my own computer and I put FF on it, and I like it way better than IE. Way better. Only thing is I can't fully remove IE, or tell it not to work, so if I click a link IE brings up the page. Not too much of a problem though, since I'm used to it anyway.

You can't remove it, but if you have XP or Vista, you can set FF as the default browser and it will open everything in FF.
