Have you heard of Mozilla Firefox, as that is the upcoming browser and is taking the edge over IE. Though it has a small in number, but winning because of security holes in IE.

The Mozilla Foundation, which develops both the Mozilla and Firefox browsers and their underlying Gecko browsing engine, has noted that downloads of the Firefox browser have doubled from 3 million for version 0.8 to 6 million for version 0.9. The group said that almost 160,000 people have downloaded the latest version of Firefox, the 1.0 release candidate.

Internet Explorer (IE) use has dropped 1.8 percent in the last three months, according to new data gathered by WebSideStory, a San Diego-based provider of Web metrics. Although IE still dominates the browser business, its current 93.7 share is off from a June high of 95.5 percent. more>>

Firefox rules has some nice features in it that don't come with IE .. pitty that my boss is convinced about IE so no IE at work for me

I tried it as well. Like the features it comes with, but had to give it up because it wasn't supported by an application at "work." I imagine this will change as well as the application matures. Looking very forward to that day.

I downloaded it last week to my home computer and to my computer at work. I haven't had any problems with applications at work. I guess I got lucky.

i downloaded it too the 0.9 version, it was pretty cool
though many websites didnt work proporly under firefox i still think it is a great browser. now i use opera and i find it to my taste. ill waqit for firefox 1.0 to come out (noit the RC) to see if its any better.

Well...Fire Fox rulesz..no doubt..and i have been using it for a while..!

Firefox is THE best browser without a doubt. Some fantastic plugins! Found the 'Web Developer' plugin REALLY useful. Shows you loads of information about a webpage, giving you options to remove images off a page, convert GET to POSTS and vice versa. Its an absolute must for any serious web developer.

few months ago i still used IE, had loads of problems with it, then someone adviced me to use firefox, and so i did, and gone were all my problems

IE just sucks like shit, believe me, when you have used firefox, you don't want anything else anymore

and the greatest feature is imho the "tabs" feature, so you don't have ten webpages opened

also have been using it for a while (from version 0.7)... on my disk i have ie, opera, navigator, and firefox, and firefox is definitely the best one.

btw. new version is out, FireFox RC1.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/do...tup%201.0PR.exe

Also check extension which are great.
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/
There arent so many now, and thats becouse old ones are not compatible with RC1.

One of the greatest is SwitchProxy. Which can be found here:
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/extfirefox/...y_1.3_pass1.xpi
(unofficial version)

also, one of good ones, is gmail notifier... which can be found in extensions.
and if you use trillian, check out youvegotgmail, from www.deltha.ro, but i am going a bit offtopic here...

All I can say abour people whining over IE is, get real or get more knowledge.
I've used IE for as long as I can remember, and I havn't got any problems whatsoever. I havnt had any problems at all with anything, being a developer and all.

Although, perhaps it's not IE's fault, might it be your own, not knowing wtf you're doing?

What do I know.. Sure, Firefox is better, but IE aint crap, it works if the user at the computer know what the fkk he's doing =)

G'night. Getting late, been out all night =O

I am using firefox.

I love the proxy toolbar addin and the User Agent Switcher!

Very Fabulous

FireFox is fast and cool with all it features and plugin but some site still required IE to function well firefox still at a disadvantage somehow.

I use it full time now, its great for blocking popups among many other things.
Anoyone who hasnt downloaded it yet should do so right away

Firefox is good, but in my opinion MyIE2 (now Maxthon) is better - it has all the features of firefox + more out of the box, and a million plugins for it, although it does use the IE control, it uses less memory then IE does, even with 10 tabs open, it was using less ram then a single IE window was on my pc, it works 100% with my bank (lol...IE only "html tags/features"), and i have never had a problem with getting spyware, or anything like that, but im not a "click yes to everything" user i guess, so untill firefox has extentions to control proxomitron, and a few other features, im sticking with it

I do use firefox of my usb drive all the time though, simply because my profile is self contained on there, and dosnt leave history, cookies..etc on other PCs i use

Ok..here is something for IE users...

firefox rulez I love the nice plugins.
For the IE users, here is another IE based free browser: AvantBrowser
