While Firefox isn't to many, a PERFECT browser, I feel it's the best out there. Pages load faster, etc... the interface and ease of use is simply better than most. It's been a stable Browser and regardless of rumors about CPU usage, I have tested it numerous times and uses no more than others and page time is faster than IE. Firefox will always be my choice as long as it remains on the road it's been on.

I absolutely LOVE Firefox 3.0! I have not submitted a review for any software on this site until now, though I've used the site for quite some time. Once I downloaded 3.0, I immediately noticed an increase in speed when browsing. I also love the "Awesome Bar" feature, where you type in keywords in the address bar and as you type, you get sites which you have visited recently, are in your Bookmarks, or have been tagged with the word(s) that you are typing. With the previous version of Firefox, it seemed that when I first went online, I'd have a minute or two of very slow page loading, then it would go away. I no longer have this problem on 3.0... The interface is very clean and doesn't take up too much space. It's a winner!

Firefox 3.0 worst piece of crap i have ever seen. Tons of problems, it hangs, there's trouble with Java, YouTube videos wouldn't work well, trying to get support for the problems with the browser is unbelievable. Since i downloaded it, there are more people that commented on my thread about how terrible the browser is. Fix it fast Mozilla, or I give up on Mozilla

Started using firefox a couple of years ago because was tired of IE's constant problems. Faster page loads, tabbed windows and the endless number of add ons make firefox the winner, hands down.

This New Version Update Keeps Freezing.Every Time I Open And Use Fire Fox Now It Always Tells Me That It Does Not Respond. I Used To Love Fire Fox Before Fire Fox 2.But Not Now As I Hate It When It Keeps Freezing Up.I Wish Mozilla Fire Fox Will Fix This,But Now I Have To Use Another Browser.If These Bugs Are Fixed Then I Will Come Back to Fire Fox.

Personally, I have tried this several times thinking I must be missing something really cool because everyone raves over it. I am starting to think the rave is just to spite Microsoft. This browser is bulky and uncomfortable to me. I use Avant browser, have for years, it has much better features and it's fast. When will this FAD end?

Firefox is another alternative to IE. I haven't found it to be as fast as Opera. But it's not slow either. There is a speed tweak that sometimes improves surfing speed. There are some excellent themes and add-ons for this open-source browser.It has multi-tabbing and is customisable. Firefox is definitely better than Internet Explorer or any of the IE knock-offs. Security is updated when needed. Firefox is a dependable browser and I recommend it.

Used Firefox for an year - versions 1.5 and 2.0 - and at the end, I ended with Opera. The most interesting thing abt Firefox, are the addons that one can integrate with the browser but had many crashes with version 2.0. Opera is faster, does not eat as much memory as Firefox does and at the end is more user friendly than Firefox. However, Firefox is a good alternative to IE...but not for Opera.

This application leaves too many cookies in its own directory structure. They usually can be found with Spybot, but just a hassle running that all the time. Like the basic feature set and extensions, just another hassle searching for them all (like Cookie Safe, Ad Blocker, etc.) I would recommend that a average user update Microsoft IE to version 7, then download AVANT browser. AVANT has the built in features from most of Firefox extensions. Cookies can be more easily managed (deleted). AVANT Speed renders approximately 1.5 times faster than the FOX. Recommend Fox 2.0.1 over IE7 (barely), but quite a bit behind AVANT 11.0 build 43 .

Mozilla has a bunch of secure features that other browsers don't possess. Mozilla's connection rate isn't as big as Opera's. And of course it doesn't possess with such convenient browsing features as Opera but it hasn't got problems with connection to particular sites. Well can recommend Mozilla for rather convenient and very secure browsing.

Mozilla has very good secure features that any other browsers don't possess. But in browsing options Mozilla is behind Opera for sure and comparable to IE. As for connection speed Mozilla isn't the best browser in the world but not the worst. So Mozilla is very good browser that can block anything that annoys you.

After hearing about the many security holes in IE that Microsoft hasn't fixed, I decided to look for a new browser and found Firefox. And boy, was that worth the download! Firefox is more secure, skinnable, has many more features than IE and best of all, it's free. Each browser has it's ups and downs, and one of the downs of Firefox is that some Microsoft sites require you to use Internet Explorer 6 to access their page for some reason. Firefox has a popup blocker that is way better than the one for IE included in Service Pack 2, so I don't need to install any additional software, saving me computer space. Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. Stop Using IE - Get Firefox!

I also used both firefox and Opera. the bad default with firefox is the fact that it will not let you Cut and paste. I am into graphics pretty heavy and Firefox just does not come up to Par with Opera. One Day Everyone will Learn. IE - Well IE is really the Pits from just about day #1 !! I would Never go back to IE - version 1 through 7 or 12 for that matter and it won't be long before 12 will be here too.... If you have never used Opera then I would suggest that you give it a try. The Best of the Lot...Just as many features as Firefox and they work a lot better and themes tons of them. My two Cents worth...for what it is worth..!! flash32

I used both Opera and Firefox for a long time, and for many times, but every time I try to use Firefox, I return to Opera, because it's rendering is miles and miles faster and sharper than Firefox'. Ok, extensions is a great idea, but I use only features provided by Opera. Cheers for the team developing Opera!

Sorry, I am still on dialup (still the majority) believe it or not, and anyway I noticed a big speed difference between the 1.5 vs and the 1.5.01! Believe me, every step that firefox makes to make it self more stable and impervious to attacks takes resources and slows it down. I am thinking of reverting or rolling back to vs 1.0.7. Thats no joke. It was fine b4. I dont know what the hell they r doing now, but it aint working. Too much protection is just overkill. Stick with the version you got now and be HAPPY! Fast and stable. Not too mention how each version is stated to be quicker, but I beg to differ and would argue it with the developers themselves! They wouldn't go there. So I just went back to vs 1.5 and guess what? My surfing is quicker again! Love it. Go with the newest version if you want. goodluck

Mozilla's Firefox features make for a smooth internet experience. The browser is simple and blocks an extremely high ratio of all pop-ups. If a vulnerability is found it is patched quite quickly. Firefox is the "Allstate-Your in good hands" of browsers and it makes a dial-up connection alot more pleasant. Extensions and themes can be applied for broadening the features and looks of Firefox. No Spyware is currently aimed at Firefox, but I feel confident going into the "malware" future with Firefox. Mozilla's Firefox browser makes the internet fun again.

I was using IE since 1997. One year before that Netscape. I was a little skeptical about Firefox, with all the hype and praises. But when I installed it and did the first browse - the difference was right there, and this moment when click a link. It was as fast as it was when you fire up your new computer without almost nothing installed there. But when you go back it's even faster! There are of course issues with certain links that don't work. Hopefully it will be fixed. Highly recommend!

Had Mozilla for a couple of months. It's not faster than IE if all you have is dial-up modem...and you don't have the ability to individually "show picture" manually to speed things up. IE's better so far but I'm going to try some others.

I recommend Firefox with all my heart to everybody who likes not only to surf - but also enjoy the surfing while at it ! First of all - firefox is the Safest Browser, and when it comes to safety - it's the best and safest ! Second - The initial downloading is very light and fast. After that - each user can add his own favorite extensions - according to his own demands and wishes ! Themes are also available in a large scale and variety - Just pick your choice ! All in all - I would not go back to the anachronistic IE - Ever !

We switched from Netscape 7.1 to Firefox 1.0.4 and haven't looked back. Features aren't as hot, but as its standards compliant (and so are we), we love it. Better support for CSS than most any other, and some terrific little features that you do have to go looking for. Easy to use even for the first timer, the "Clear Private Data" and "Options..." tools are worth the download, but the advanced tab browsing is killer! Yep, its slow to load and its still got some plug-in issues (Acrobat Reader makes it skip a beat now and then), but its still better than IE7 and should get better as 1.5 and 2.0 are released. Highly recommended for anybody.

Very simply, Firefox just works. Despite Internet Explorer users saying that their browser works better with some pages and Opera users saying that their browser has more features, the truth is, Firefox helps the user along only when they need it (importing settings and bookmarks, for example), but otherwise just getting out of the way and letting the user do what he/she wants or needs. It works. It's just that simple.

Firefox is, by far, the best browser out there. With its tabbed browsing, powerful user-created extensions and strong support community, Firefox has taken the web by storm for the last two years and is only gaining momentum. My favorite extensions include Tab Mix Plus, Session Saver, and Mouse Gestures. The fact that you're reading this review says that you're looking for an alternative browser, so make the switch today. What do you have to lose? It's free!
