Through thick and thin...

by LiveWire May 14, 2018 (Read all my 2 reviews)

I've been a devoted FFx user since before it was FFx... There were def some difficult times as it was evolving, but now (60.0 Quantum) it is better than ever... First, Mozilla a non-profit and that is a premium plus... Second, it's the most customizable browser out there. Between work and play and more work, I spend 10+ hours a day online so my environment is really important to me. I have everything set to calm minimal utilitarian and it's a comfortable and productive place to be. I haven't found any other browser as flexible... The toolsaddons are great. I have several common (and free) security addons - Avast Online Security, DisConnect and AdBlocker for Youtube - and no one knows I'm there. I use Video Download Helper daily so I can save vids and watch later locally. I also have a few pdf makers and an ebook reader. Good stuff... FFx did go through a resource hogunstable phase, but it gotten way better. It still uses 2-4 of my cpu and 1.5gb of RAM, but it's fast, smooth and stable... In my opinion, there is no better browser. I'm glad I've stuck with it and am confident that it will continue to get better and even more fun. Its one of my favorite pieces of software and I recommend it to everyone!.. And, no, I don't work for Mozilla, but I sure wouldn't mind :)

Good, but with exceptions. literally.

by kpupright799 Jun 18, 2016 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Once upon a time, google was simple, fast, and excellent. Now it is huge and invasive. Firefox seems to have followed the same path. As always since I first started using it, Firefox has had excellent design and interface. The problem has come since the early 30s versions and the browser getting more and more bloated. Resource use in this last build is astounding, and I'd love to send the plugin container to another planet, set fire to it and bury its ashes. Constant "breakpoint" errors leading to crashes prompted repeated clean installations trying to gain stability to no avail. Getting a system crash and good ole blue screen was the final straw. Haven't seen that since Bugle was a pup and have no desire to deal with it for the sake of just trying to look at the internet. It may work for others but for now I've had my fill. The search continues.

Still a great browser

by LowStrung Jan 24, 2016 (Read all my 16 reviews)

User customizations, which have always made Firefox so flexible, are still possible. Also, I'm seeing great performance as far as speed is concerned, and stability as well. The memory leaks I found in an earlier version haven't shown up in 43.0.4. So far I haven't encountered any difficulties in handling the sites I visit regularly. Some of the UI changes are a bit disconcerting. The first thing I noticed was that the buttons on the bookmarks toolbar were displayed at the very bottom of the toolbar, which had a very large top margin, but I eventually fixed that by editing userChrome.css, which has always helped me tweak the UI in the past. Some extensions may cause Firefox to start up a bit more slowly, particularly Adblock Plus. At any rate, although I previously felt satisfied with my very old version of Firefox and was refusing to upgrade it, I'm glad I eventually gave in and installed 43.0.4!

33 is good!

by danielson Oct 16, 2014 (Read all my 7 reviews)

If the advent of Australis edition brought this browser down a notch in quality standards (GUI flexibility and addons compatibility issues)it still remains a good contender to the main stream browsers. This latest version seems to be a lot perkier than its predecessor. Android version is nice too! 4+

Beginning to suffer

by EmpressTrudy Sep 14, 2014 (Read all my 16 reviews)

FF has become increasingly clunky and slow and bloated. And it's becoming difficult to say in sync with add ons. For instance FF 32.0 is incompatible with Symantec Vulnerability add on. And almost immediately they released a 'fix' to 32, 32.0.1 which is supposed to address stability and security issues (of course) but it runs slower than 32.0 which was ever so slightly faster than 31 but the overall trend had been bigger, bulkier, slower, fatter. And the releases don't appear to add much except for developers.

Australis looks fine to me

by Wastrel May 26, 2014 (Read all my 17 reviews)

I've been using Firefox continuously since before v1. Mozilla has certainly done a few things with Firefox (and Thunderbird) that I didn't much like; Rapid Release, for instance, has been really annoying as an end user (though it may, perhaps, have been a good thing regarding development). However, as someone who for years now has spent more than a little time with each release delving into the internals of Firefox in order to write custom CSS to alter its appearance, I have to say that Firefox 29 with Australis is definitely the best Firefox yet. I encountered one "serious" issue with Firefox 29 related to non-default settings that caused Firefox to crash randomly, but once I reset them to their defaults the issue vanished--no problems since. (The cause of the problem turned out to have been ongoing since release 26 or 27.) Removing the Add-on bar (hiding it actually) seemed like an unnecessary thing to do, but I found that I didn't need it anyway. And since you can get it back with an add-on (ironic) if you do need it, Firefox is what it's always been: highly configurable (more so than any other browser). Many "long-time users" have complained about Firefox looking like Google Chrome. Well, once you stop looking at the tab shape and the menu button, Firefox looks like it always has: like Firefox. And that's a beautiful thing. Firefox... still the best, and better than ever.

Bye bye

by gimpguy May 23, 2014 (Read all my 1159 reviews)

I have been a Firefox user for years, until this year anyway. Noticing months back how my browsing was slowed, had crashes, games not functioning through Internet correctly, I went through multiple scenarios to fix this only to find that uninstalling Firefox fixed the issue. That really took me by surprise. (No there were no infections, etc...) This wasn't limited to my PC, many people in my home and outside of my home were having issues too. After waiting for fixes, etc... something has changed with Firefox and it hasn't gotten better. I have switched to a different open source browser now and everything has been great. This has been ongoing for months with Firefox and I've had enough, it was time to move on to a browser that isn't getting intrusive to the system.

Firefox 29 with the Australis interface

by JohnCorliss May 05, 2014 (Read all my 25 reviews)

Although Mozilla claims that version 29 is more configurable than previous versions, my experience is that the opposite is true unless you use the "Classic Theme Restorer" extension. The extension will put back features which the developers removed (eg. the Addons Toolbar), unlock things they made unmovable (eg. the tab bar location) and do other changes (eg. make background tabs not fade out so completely.) Using the extension, I was able to make Firefox look just the way it did before updating to version 29. I have to admit that I do like the rounded tabs, which really don't waste space after all. There actually are a few new features in version 29, but frankly, I only use a couple of them. If the "Classic Theme Restorer" extension ever stops being developed, I will be very unhappy to have to use the new "Australis" interface.

Firefox v. 29 new interface - australis-

by melen001 Apr 29, 2014 (Read all my 20 reviews)

Well I just got the new FF Australis interface page and, to tell you the truth, it really doesn't look that bad. Actually it might take a little time to get accustomed to but it seems okay. The whole problem is that we are accustomed to do things a certain way and when change and new technologies arrive we resent the fact that we might have to "start all over again" and that's understandable. As part of our learning habits that is not unusual at all. Changes and innovation are usually difficult for us to accept and "learned habits" is just part of our psychological traits on how we think and act so, if you really think about it, after awhile, getting accustomed to the new FF is really no big deal. Sure we've lost a few things that we liked on our homepage, but can you imagine if we still had the "original FireFox" and all that "old technology"??? Let me put it this way, I can remember the first car I had a 1963 Chevy Impala and no AC. Do you think that I would change my 2012 Lexus GS 350 for the "old, trustworthy and beauty" of the Impala? Yeah, it's a nostalgic felling I guess and I loved that Impala but you get the idea. I got over it and I'm sure that you will too. Technology and innovation has it's sacrifices but the positives out weight the lost.... so I welcome you Australis and thanks FireFox for a job well done...

Version 18.0.1 is fast, secure, and stable.

by wyzwyk1 Feb 01, 2013 (Read all my 5 reviews)

This version is running nicely on both my Windows 7 and Linux Mint 14 KDE operating systems. I've always had a place in my heart for this browser because of the way you can customize it with add-ons, but some releases over the past couple of years have been less than stellar. A number of times new releases have been incompatible with popular add-on extensions. When this has happened the browsing experience was greatly diminished. Fortunately the last few releases have been devoid of problems.

Solid stable with great add-ons

by dvdshonna96 Nov 22, 2012 (Read all my 11 reviews)

Love all the add-ons. It's why Firefox is my #1 choice. Don't understand all the complaints about the constant updates and new versions. I turn off automatic updates in the options and normally use Firefox for years before I download a new version. I don't care if Mozilla updates and create new versions every day. It's nothing to me. None of them are mandatory. I see version 17.0 is available. I'm still using version 9.01. Version 17.0 looks stripped down (like Chrome) I don't believe I'll be updating anytime soon.

Recent problems

by madmik Feb 13, 2012 (Read all my 32 reviews)

Prior to versions 9 and 10,Firefox was a moderately fast, relatively trouble free browser packed with features which made it a winner. Regrettably, something seems to have gone wrong with the last two versions,which seem wracked with mysterious issues,causing freezing and shutdowns on a frequent basis.I doubt these are unique to my particular configuration,as these problems didn't occur prior to version 9. One recent change in versions 9 and 10.1, seems the allowing of over riding compatibility with extensions ,which previously may have been considered incompatible. Whatever the cause, these issues are severe enough for me to consider a browser change. These problems have been reported. Regrettably,owing to the present difficulties,it is hard to recommend the current versions. Version 8 was good if not particularly fast.

Best browser for me!

by mmgonzo Jul 13, 2011 (Read all my 2 reviews)

I have used Firefox since version 1.5 and have never looked back. For me, Firefox is much better, easier to use, and safer than IE. I have tried Chrome, Opera, & others, but I found Firefox to be the best. When Firefox 4.0 became available I downloaded, installed, and just loved it. Now using Firefox 5.0 and still find Firefox to be the best; hand down. Best for ease of use, security, safety, and a world of great add-ons. No other browser comes close!!! I use on my Linux Mint 9 pc, WinXp, & Win7. If I did not have to use IE or MS Windows at all, I wouldn't. As for me I'd give Firefox 10 Stars if I could!

I will stick with 3.5

by whoever Jun 10, 2011

Snapfiles review clearly states that it is for 3.5 but I tried 4 anyway and took it straight back off. It is absolute pants and worse than any other browser I have ever tried. I will stick with 3.5 and once I get to the stage where I maybe can't use 3.5 I will look elsewhere. Sorry but this a one giant leap backward and an absolute mess. You won't bother with it if you have any sense.

A competitive browser with excellent add-ons

by iwillneverstop Apr 24, 2011 (Read all my 25 reviews)

Maybe, Firefox itself isn't as good as Internet Explorer but with a huge set of excellent add-ons, Firefox becomes one of the leading internet browsers. Supporting Windows (including XP), Linux and Mac OS is one of the advantages of Firefox. You're looking for a browser that is flexible but still good, Firefox is your destination.

Beware the update

by raptozilla Mar 23, 2011 (Read all my 26 reviews)

I have been using Firefox since 0.4 came out; on this computer, I have several versions since about 1.5. When I did the update to 4.0 through the Firefox interface and tried to start the browser it crashed most of the time. If it didn't crash upon starting, it crashed every time I tried to access the options popup. I did a complete uninstall of Firefox using Revo Uninstaller advanced mode and then installed 4.0; this corrected the problem. Hardly any of my extensions or themes were compatible with 4.0, so I have to do a complete reworking of that aspect of 4.0 from scratch anyway. If you're going to use 4.0 and have installed previous versions of the program, you might want to do the complete uninstall before installing 4.0. Upload your bookmarks to Xmarks and export your speed dial settings so you can easily retrieve them after installing 4.0; if you do these things, it's most of the battle in getting your Firefox back to the way you like it.

I don`t get it

by wildgoosespeeder Jan 01, 2010 (Read all my 52 reviews)

I read pcs800's review and couldn't agree more. I just don't get it. You need plug-ins to be able to compare it to what Internet Explorer can do on it's own. I can program in JavaScript and one JavaScript I made runs in Internet Explorer as intended. Run it in Firefox and we get a different result! The JavaScript was adding two numbers but Firefox thought I was trying to piece together two string values. 1+1=11? I don't think so. I had to fix it using an algebraic way. 1-(-1)=2. That fixed it. Cool people use Firefox. Cool people follow fads and don't question them. I'm not cool. I'm questioning Firefox. Why do people think it is so much better than Internet Explorer? So what if you can use different skins? Looks don't determine how good a program is. It's the functionality. I know some looks are good but there needs to be balance. People claim Firefox loads faster than Internet Explorer. It doesn't for my computer.

Bookmark manager too difficult to use

by 7654321 Nov 15, 2008 (Read all my 2 reviews)

Having used Firefox 1.07 through 1.5, I recommended Firefox to everyone. Now that I tried 3.04 (2000 SP4), I no longer recommend Firefox, because I don't have a clue how to use the Bookmark Manager! In versions 1.07 through 1.5, I learned everything I need to know about Bookmark Manager in 30-40 seconds. After using version 3.04 for about a month, I have no clue how to perform basic tasks in Bookmark Manager. I Bookmarked a site, but cannot find it under Bookmark Manager. I created a folder, but when I click on 'Bookmark This Page,' I cannot put it in the Folder I created! I have no clue how to 'Move' a bookmark to somewhere else, such as another Folder. I looked in the Help File (which should NEVER be needed for tasks this basic), and there is NOTHING. Bottom Line: IE6 is 1,000,000 times better then Firefox 3.04, because there is no longer a reasonably easy way to control or work with Bookmarks. I would still recommend Firefox 1.5, but not version 3.04.

by garyganu Jun 23, 2008 (Read all my 4 reviews)

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 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.

Good 2nd choice for a browser

by dlbean1 Jan 01, 2007 (Read all my 4 reviews)

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 .

Stop using IE - get Firefox!

by Anomyous Aug 12, 2006 (Read all my 6 reviews)

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!

by tomcat Feb 04, 2006 (Read all my 16 reviews)

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

by Mike98 Feb 02, 2006 (Read all my 10 reviews)

Pros: 1. Tabbed browsing 2. RSS reader 3. Blocks worms, virusses, spyware and adware 4. No support ActiveX 5. Print the whole page Cons: 1. Too many times a website not (correct) visible 2. Flash Player for Firefox doesn't work 3. Sometimes Firefox doesn't show the latest version of a website

A great piece of software

by Sawyer Jan 14, 2006 (Read all my 3 reviews)

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've used Firefox now as long as it's been around.It's simply the fastest,most extensible browser there is period. I don't believe there is anything even close too what you can do with this browser. I know I've tried a lot the others and they just don't standup to Firefox.

I was a little skeptical, but when...

by zeeLaz Dec 06, 2005 (Read all my 20 reviews)

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!

Not faster than ie

by stormbringer Dec 06, 2005

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.

It's not that bad using firefox v1.5 but I also use Avant Broswer v10.1 build 32 which I've found to have more configurable options built-in than what I've seen in firefox.

The best browser ever !

by Anabel-lee Nov 25, 2005 (Read all my 4 reviews)

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 !

Functional and secure

Brilliant! Has all the features that IE doesnt have, and without any security problems. As well as this you can download extensions and themes to make it look like and do you want it to.

Better every time

by estople Nov 22, 2005 (Read all my 8 reviews)

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.

It works. it's just that simple.

by LinkTiger Oct 17, 2005

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.

The best browser

by shatterstar Sep 27, 2005 (Read all my 6 reviews)

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!

Definitely the best browser

by ElykSamoht Sep 25, 2005

Firefox is the best browser by far. Open source, and free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it. It is much more secure than IE. I haven't gotten a single spyware since switching, except for the one time that I was forced to use IE for a site. You could call that a coincidence, but I don't think it is. Security aside, it's loaded with features, including tabbed browsing, which makes reading multiple webpages much easier. If there's a feature it doesn't have, I can usually find an extension to add it. I can change the look at any time simply by selecting a different theme. It's faster than IE by default, and advanced users can tweak it even more to optimize it for their computer.

Ace

It's a fantastic browser much better than IE. Far more secure less bloated it's my number 1 browser by default. It renders web pages much faster than any browser I've used, and I've used them all. Ditch that old vulnerable IE for this it's miles miles miles better.

The best of the best.

by Ghost_grey Sep 22, 2005 (Read all my 56 reviews)

Firefox is the best browser around, simple, clean, and easy to use, but Firefox really is a beast, Just look under the hood and you've got superior browsing power with an extremely flexible extension system, customizable, and very well built for the web But It's still a baby so handle it with care. Firefox is Easily my favorite browser. Although I recommend sticking with Internet Explorer, or whatever your stuck with because you probably wont like Firefox.

Excelent

by magnuspark Sep 17, 2005 (Read all my 9 reviews)

Not the best, but close, no doubt slaps the stupid grin of MS, nice one, I still use it, after 10 months, along with avant. when you think I have had a PC for 8 years, I hated IE for all the time I had no choice.

Firefox security is just as bad.

by SubwayGOP Aug 23, 2005 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Firefox claims to be more secure than IE. I beg to differ. As more and more people use Firefox it will get attacked just as much as IE, and many patches will soon follow, as they already have. The popup blocker is very weak. At least with IE you can add a good 3rd party popup blocking program such as POPUPCOP! On the plus side the tab browsing is KOOL! Ill stick with IE.

Not a lightning fast browser

by Semantic Jul 29, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)

I like this browser. For a full featured speedy browser I find the IE based Cayman browser to do circles around Firefox. If your stuck on a dial-up connection for some reason or other you will find that IE and most any IE based browser is faster than this excluding Maxthon which in my tests was just as slow loading graphics. Although I'd give Maxthon a higher rating than Firefox it is very well featured and not buggy in some aspects like Firefox is. Firefox extensions are very nice but the themes I think are lame. I would still recommend this to use but is not my browser of choice. I like it better than Opra but then again thats not saying much. If you have Firefox and are a bit disappointed then give the new Cayman browser a try. I think you will switch. Cayman is very full featured and the fastest browser I have found yet. Security wise I find that if your machine is fully patched it is as secure as it's going to get with any browser.

When in rome...

by JasonK Jul 25, 2005

Face it, the web is a Microsoft dominated part of computer technology, IE is more compatible and stable, may not be safer though, thats why I recommend Maxthon, uses the IE Engine, but doesn't contain all the IE flaws, so you have a safe, compatible, useful and stable browser that has many more features , the same ability to download plugins, and you don't have to import your bookmarks and other things. So in short, Maxthon > Firefox; however, I have heard good things about opera, so I would recommend that above Firefox as well. Maxthon (and maybe opera) > (certain other browsers including avant and slimbrowser) Firefox > (some other certain browsers that are even less popular like Mozilla) > IE > Netscape (why would someone use Netscape anyways?)

Okay but needs work

This is an OK browser for those that dislike IE. I find that the 'bookmarks' menu is buggy and needs work to make it less frustrating to use.

Great browser

by TheAdmaninoz Jul 14, 2005

Firefox is super secure and easy to use. If you are sick of acquiring Trojans just from LOOKING at certain web pages then make the switch to Firefox. Not only is it extremely secure but feature wise it blows IE away. (Tabbed browsing, RSS news feeds, password manager etc) You get the ease of use of IE with great additional features, plus the security of say, Opera, WITHOUT the steep learning curve! Highly recommended!

Why use anything else?

by MichaelMaltenfort Jul 12, 2005 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Mozilla Firefox is a browser that is extremely flexible and which has tons of features. The "tabbed browsing" is wonderful (though other browsers have that too). What really sets Firefox apart is the ability to customize it by downloading extensions. These extensions (mostly free) can be found at Mozilla's Web site and can add various features. I particularly like the extensions CustomizeGoogle (to improve ease of Google searches) and Forecastfox (weather forcasts appear in my browser window), but there are others that may be more useful, depending on one's preferences. Firefox is just terrific! And, importantly to some of us, it's one way to take a stand against Microsoft taking over the Web, since it's a browser which is not produced by them.

Nice browser, but i uninstalled it

by Nirrad Jun 19, 2005 (Read all my 4 reviews)

Nice easy to use interface. Many like the fact that there is a ton of extensions out there. I for one, dont. I prefer to have a browser with all the features I want already included. Dont want to have to add extensions to it. I do see why people like this though. The possibilities are endless with it. I guess Im different ;). I have had nothing but problems with it so I uninstalled it. Ill continue to use my favorite browser, Opera.

Missing a category

by ZachFSW Jun 16, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)

I could rate this excellent on all four categories you have - and I still would never recommend its use to anyone. Does it work? Not in a test tube environment of pages built to an unofficial standards approval. Does it work in the real world, with real webpages, some of them many years old that are not going to ever be updated again, but still have very valuable information on them - Does it work for those pages? Not very often. Does it follow the standards as set by use? No. Does it go out of its way to be incompatible with other existing browsers? Yes.
