Firefox Browser

I have; liked it and loved "Mouse Gestures" ...

but, I've gone back to Opera. Much prefer it, especially with the developer's toolbars. The tabbed interface works more intuitively too (and remembers your browser state without needing add-ins).

Firefox is definitely getting all the publicity at the minute though ...

Anybody else tried Firefox ?
I use its predecessor... Netscape 7.1 but I have read good things about Firefox. Both are Mozilla based and can trace their roots back to the original daddy of the browsers... NCSA Mosaic.

A great shame that AOL (current owners of Netscape) are turning their backs on NS and jumping into bed with M$ and IE.

I dare say I might give Firefox a go at some point in the future but NS has everything I need for now.

Another good browser is MyIE2, I think its been renamed to Maxthon now, and it is based on MS IE but a very good browser none the less.. How IE should have been IMO.

i get less browser attacks too. been using it for 6 months now. you do get the occational blip in browser pages not lining up. And some specialist plugins are not supported yet ie 3d panoramic. it's faster retrieving pages too
 
Yes, I use firefox about half the time. I like it a lot, and it is clawing back market share from IE at un unbelievable rate right now. Somewhere near 10% at present. Some people saying that the 1.0 release is actually less stable than 1.0 preview though.
 
I switched to Firefox about 4 months ago. The move was painless and I rarely have any issues with it :) I don't have to worry about all the updates that microsoft release on a weekly basis to sort out their crappy code :) I it also blocks pop ups :rock: and I never get the stupid toolbars that some sites / programs try and force on your IE browser :) I used Opra a few years ago when it was still new and thought that it was very good :) I don't know why I stopped using it :confused:
