I am a devoted Firefox user. Tabbed browsing is, for me, so much more convenient than having a dozen windows open at the same time. It's especially great for research, because I can have one window open for each category of research and several pages open in each.
I never find that MSN.com has ONCE AGAIN taken over my homepage, despite changing back to about:blank every single time.
The favorites toolbar speeds things up- I use 6 or 7 websites probably 95% of the time, so it's nice to have pages available at a single click.
I've always found the enormous space-wasting buttons in IE kind of demeaning- do they think we don't know how to use a mouse properly?
I was a bit leery about the integrated google search, just because back when I used questionable filesharing programs integrated search bars kept installing themselves in IE so I just had a bad connotation with them. But the google search bar is unobtrusive and at times very time-saving.
Back with Firebird, I had a lot of trouble getting Flash and Java plugins to work correctly. But those problems vanished with Firefox.
Finally, I feel better about not using a product that has been shoved on me.
Speaking of products being shoved on me, despite having Firefox set as my default browser, it still treats IE as the default- thus, on the occasions I open links from non-firefox windwos, like a chat window or something like that, IE still opens. Is there any way to force Windows to acknowledge that I like Firefox better?
