How many forumites use Mozilla Firefox and what do you think of it?
I have ambivalent feelings about it. I find that when it's good it's very good and when it's bad it's horrid.
I get best results when there is less net traffic but when there is heavy net traffic I revert to Internet Explore.

I use Firefox at home over 90 percent of the time. Occasionally (very rarely) I run across a web page that looks better on Internet Explorer. Wooden Whimsies page is one of them.
 
I use Firefox almost exclusively. I love the spell check. I've used for several years now. I also like it because I can use it on my Linux box and I can make it work exactly the same as my windows box. I usually won't visit sites that use IE's propriety tags.
 
I have been using it excluively but as of a couple of days ago it had crawled to nearly a halt so I went back to explorer and the speed is back to normal. Not sure what the problem is. I like its spell check as well

Sam,
Empty the cache and set FF up to empty the cache on close. Tools->Privacy->Always clear privacy data upon close then click settings and check what is checked. Firefox has a tendency to overload the cache and have trouble flushing the older data. This is the only fault I've ever come across. But since I set it up to clear on close, it has never been a problem.

Only time I use IE is to update windows and when someone refuses to build a site that will work with Firefox.
 
Haven't tried it, am fully satisfied with Safari browser. It has tabs if you like, Control+click to open in a new window from a link. Very easy on the eyes. Running it on an XP Pro laptop.
