I think all four of the main browsers — Opera, IE, FF and Safari — are very good. I’ve never had any REAL problems with any of them. I’m using IE7 and like it just fine. It has a few quirks to it that make me prefer it to the others, although I used FF for a couple of years (prefer the earlier versions that were plainer and simpler). Opera is also very good. Moving back through previously loaded pages in Opera is lightning fast and I don’t know why the other browsers don’t have that feature.

One of my least favorite things with Firefox is the way it handles and makes HTML dumps of bookmarks — too bulky. IE’s HTML dump (of bookmarks) is considerably smaller, for instance. Also when trying to import IE bookmarks into FF3 it froze over and over.

Again though all four of the main browsers, including also Konquerer and some others that don’t get much play, are very good. But I think IE is underrated I guess because it’s the default and it’s by Microsoft.

I used FF and when I stopped the updates the computer stopped working. The dial out for broadband had a constant error message, and because I thought it was a Window XP update problem I reloaded the entire computer. It happened again 2 month later, but knew it must be FF. Deleted it from my computer and everything started work again.
I think they should stop all these updates!!

uh yeah anyone saying that mozilla is slow or taking up to much memory is dumb…go to about:config and change the settings you need to. my friend ran his on dial up n had it loading pages at dsl speed, n my other one was complaining about the memory usage too but he changed some settings and guess what? it doesn’t use much at all now. jus google your problems n ull most likely find your solution

I used Firefox a few years but now it seems to have lost it. I use it on more computers and I noticed that he installation of the most recent updates fails on every ssytem, making the browser inoperable. It gets in a loop during update installation and only a hard stop in the task manager will solve the problem.
The mozilla update routine sucks anyway. That’s it, I’m back to IE7. Not too bad after all.

I was a firefox junkie, but now i’m going to stop with it.

It consumes too much memory period. I always have my browser open and it goes up to 400MB in ram, and i’m a guy who opens 10-30 plus windows at a time. As it reaches around 8, it gets dreadfully slow. I think i’ll try khameleon

Exactly the same feelings happening to me, since my favorite and first-choice browser is Firefox. The very first time I used Firefox, it was like an evergreen leopard, but now it became almost comparable with a snail. Any solutions from the developers side?
