FireFox PWNS WHY?

1. Tabbed Browsing, the greatest advancement of the internet ever.

2. Safety: Very good built-in pop-up blocker, and has no major flaws

3. Features
a) Downloads. You can pause downloads or cancel them halfway if it is lagging your computer. You can also keep tracks of multiple downloads at one time, and of course, pause one to let another go faster.
b) Themes: Customizable themes allow you to customize your browser to it looks like what you think is cool!
c) Search Bar, a search bar on the right of your address, which allows you to search Google, Yahoo, Dictionary.com, Amazon.com, Creative Commons and E-Bay. Also allows you to add engines like Wikipedia, Merriam Webster etc.
d) Bookmarks toolbar. A little toolbar below your Standard Toolbar. It allows you to have a one-click solution to all your surfing needs, like QC etc.

4) Cute logo.

Well, even though it is so good, it does not come pre-installed with Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, Java, QuickTime etc. When you do arrive on such a page, you will be notified and then linked to download it. This seriously rocks, furthermore, it is FreeWare, and unlike Opera, there are no advertisements!

ENJOY!!! I have done MY part in promoting Mozilla FireFox. Do your part now! :P

I don't like tabbed browsing myself.  I prefer to maximize screen real-estate, and the tabs take up space.  I browse with Safari (OSX browser that supports tabbed browsing,) but I turned tabs off in my preferences.  Whenever I want to save my place while exploring in other directions, I just apple-click the link to open it in a new window.

I've been using IE7 for a while now, and I rather like it.  It's faster then Firefox (IE always has been, due to the tighter integration with Windows), the tabs work nicely, it's a bit slimmer...  All in all, no complaints.

Well, there is one.  It doesn't work on Win2k, which I use at work (here).

Yeah IE is faster but that integration causes potential security holes.

nihilist:
Eh, FF has security problems as well.
