    I use firefox and I must say, I think it kicks ass compared to IE.

    My favorite things about firefox is the "open new tab" function, like Obvious mentioned, and also , the automatic "pop-up" blocker. I used to get so many pop-up ads on this site and others, that my computer would crash. I very, VERY rarely get any pop-ups with firefox. When I actually do get one, it's more of a "hey, what's this?!?" instead of the old, "Jeez, not another one!" like I had with IE.

    I'd recommend it to anyone, even considering its minor bugs, but the benefits far outweigh those of IE.

    Its pretty cool.

    The only thing I miss is the google toolbar which let you click on the search words to see where it found them on the page. Is there some add in so I can get this feature?

    You could always look at Googles cached pages, that highlights the words automatically. Or use Firefox's find function (Ctrl-F)

    there's a extension for added tab options, you can make it so any link you regular click is opened in a tab

    yep, firefox kicks ass. I guess I've been using it for like 6 months or more. I HATE IE, but sometimes I can't click certain links on firefox, so I'm forced to use IE occasionally. It still has minor thingssss wrong with it, but it rocks. The tabs thingy is one of my fav features, too! oh, but I can't play yahoo games (i'm addicted to checkers) In Firefox.. it closes the games are random times w/ no warning. Well I haven't tried for a while, maybe they fixed it.

    IE = Christina Aguilara and her 4,000 STD's
    Firefox = Hilary Duff's virgin butthole
