So you finally made the switch. It only took me 2 years to talk you into changing [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

It's only taken them, what? Three years? Even when 7 comes out, I'll still be using FF.

Never used Firefox. It sounds a hell of alot better than IE. Is it free?

Thunderbird is actually pretty nice too.

Converted from IE to Opera 6 eons ago....converted from Opera to FF about a year ago, and never looked back. The only pages that don't display correctly in FF are those that aren't coded to W3C standards, so that doesn't bother me one bit.

Just to throw in my 2 cents. I've been using FF for a little while now, and I've noticed it tends to lock up quite a bit. Sometimes, well, often it will not open windows, play videos or just not open at all when clicking the icon. If thats the case I'll use IE for the rest of the time 'till I reboot. Anyone else noticing these problems? For example, click a link on a forum and have nothing happen.

YES!! That has been my exact problem with firefox. I have to go into task manager and kill the executable.

I like the program, but it has problems just like any other application you are going to use. Their last release was pulled back after beta testing because of serious security flaws.

I use Firefox sometimes. I'm still to used to IE to switch over though.

Using IE7 now and like others said its getting better, but theres certain development features its lacking. For instance, IE still can't match Firefox's CSS support. [/geek speak]
