Been using it for some time now and it works great

Firefox is teh win!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Awesome, thanks.

They should have some kind of update thinger on FF, where it checks the site for updates every so often... then again, the homepage is just a click away (the button on top right).

I've never used this before, always used IE. I'll post back later with my reactions on it.

 

[Kyorisu]

Excellent it's running nicley so far.

 

[friedcook]

Nice and fast. The skins won't work, though.

 

[Letters]

Ooohhh so it is new! I've been using it. And it's still nice.

what makes firefox better than IE in your opinion? (curious)

 

[ray_MAN]

It is faster. That is the main object.

 

[Alig]

It blocks pop-ups.

I am trying it out for the first time and I am liking it very much. It feels faster, and less cluttered.

1) Everything
2) The rest

Edit - Running v. nice so far, the new buttons look a bit retro... I like

A couple times I've been loading a whole bunch of images at once and went to save one that was already done and it brought up the download manager and started downloading it from scratch again. This happened a couple of times on earlier versions too, but it's no biggie, I just close the download and save again and it works.

I'm now pseudo-converted.

 

[Bad^Hat]

less cluttered.

You won't say that once you learn to use tabs

I now see what you mean, thats really nice actually, even if it adds to the clutter.

 

[poseyjmac]

hmm if its faster then ill have to try it out. IE already blocks up popups(in Service pack 2)

 

[ankalar]

I like Opera better than Firefox, but I still like Firefox better than IE

 

[poseyjmac]

hmm well i ran some manual benchmarks on some sites between ie and firefox(with no caching web pages). they both went about the same speed to my eyes. and when starting the app with a start page of google, IE loads a bit faster. this is right after a new format of winxp + sp2 Rc2 though

edit: actually firefox does handle page transitions more smoothly when navigating on a site like this forum.
