Just installed Firefox on my computer and started using it. I'm liking it so far, and my BF loves it because it's got an open source code.

Anyone else used this browser? What do you think?

It's a web browser put out by Mozilla...like Netscape or Explorer.

I use Mozilla which I like but haven't tried Firefox. What's the difference? The only thing I don't like about Mozilla is you can't see some of the graphics, like the "glow" around the usernames on D'live. Other than that I think it's alot better than IE. No pop-ups to deal with.

I know this is an old thread but I just found it, so....

I have been using Firefox for a couple of months now at work and at home. I adore it. Popups are all be non-existant to me now, load time is faster, and I haven't gotten near the adware/malware type invasions on my PC since using it.

I'm considering downloading Mozilla's email client, too. Are you using it yet? If so, what do you think?

Just google mozilla and there will be links for a free download of firefox. This program is far superior to internet explorer, especially in security. Because it is open source, you have about 200,000 programmers who contribute to it instead of the 100 or so that microsoft uses for explorer. While firefox still has a copule of kinks to work out (such as displaying certain graphics) it still works for most every page and if you check regularly for updates, these problems will soon be worked out.
