    Possibly because it's not loaded down with "features" that no one ever uses - which I don't doubt is true with IE. But I doubt that any browser will speed up my page loading. I need something faster than dial-up.

    I've used Fire Fox since day one. I love it. It's faster and it's not prone all the crap IE7 is prone to.

    Good product.

    From what I hear, Firefox is prone to its own crap.

    I've used it since it was first released and I'm not experiencing problems. Initially there were incompatibility issues but those have gone away over the years....I've had many issues with IE....

    I have a cousin with whom I chat online and play online games with using browser. She's often had Firefox crash on her.

    Got me there. I don't chat online or play games.....

    I just read the news, research, email and post on this wonderful forum. I guess I'm not pushing FireFox to its limits.

    Version 2 did have its share of problems, and if you load Firefox to the gills with extensions it can be buggy. However, the new version - Version 3 - is a significant improvement over Version 2.

    That's what I'm using, version 3.

    I love it!

    People, if MS were so bad, why does it have such a huge market share ?. If they make a crappy product, then it won't sell.

    Apples are great for many things (graphic & such). PC's are good for other things.
    The reason Exploder is so prevalent is because it comes with Windows and advertising. Firefox does not advertise and you have to downloaded it, so non savvy people do not go get it. Just because something gets more use does not mean its better... look at the election going on right now. Barry is in front because of advertisement and the MSN's favorable coverage. Would you say that Barry is better?

    Windows is a crap product, however there isnt a viable alternative for what I use my PC for. Trust me, If I could get the same games to run with Linux I would never use another MS product. again I caution you that just because it hold the market, does not mean it is better. I'll take performance over popularity anytime.
