Firefox

Just a comment re: firefox

I have been using IE7 Beta 3 for a few weeks and really like it, however it does still have some glitches that I cant live with relating to download links

As I got used to tabs so didn't want to back to IE6 while the IE7 bugs are ironed out I downloaded firefox on Friday night.

WOW - what a difference - page navigation and load speeds are transformed - I didn't really expect such a difference as I thought a lot of my speed issues were related to the fact I normally have about 8 or so applications running simultaneously.

I'm sure Firefox must have some problems of its own, but so far I'm impressed

Firefox does blow IE away. I’ve been using it for over a year and will also never go back to IE. I highly recommend you browse all of the free Extensions that add fantastic added features to FF that will greatly enhance your browsing experience. The free Themes are also neat to change the look and feel as well.
