I have Firefox and I started using it shortly before I went on vacation. When I came back, I just went back to IE because I'm more familiar with it. It took me forever to move away from Netscape Navigator in favor of IE. You think I'd jump away from IE any chance I got.
especially considering firefox is developed by mozilla which is essentially what used to be netscape or something along those lines. i do not remember the exact time line, but if you download mozilla it looks and feels and loads as slow as netscape, yuck! firefox is completely different than mozilla or netscape though, any ways... down with microsoft no matter what you use.

speaking of down with microsoft, check out open office instead of shelling out $400 claims for MS pro...

oh, I've used it enough to know that is what I should be using, but I just open IE out of habit/convenience. In Firefox, I love the tabbing features and the built-in pop-up blocker is nice. I bet IE has that on it's next version. And the importing of bookmarks in Firefox is pretty slick, too.

modifying your profile (user.js)

kickstand,
..you can also "Search" out some settings (see Firefox's Support site) that you can edit user.js with..that'll help maximize browsing speeds.
