| FIREFOX- Anyone using it?
I just downloaded the Firefox web browser today to use in lieu of my computer's default Safari browser (I have a Mac). Does anyone here use it and what do you think of it?

Firefox is awesome.
But I've heard Safari runs faster on Macs.

We all like Firefox here. It blocks popups really well.

I use FireFox on a Mac, and would never go back to Safari! It just seems to work better, although Safari is a bit stabler.

I use Safari and Firefox on my Mac. Most of the time they run about the same speed but I get less popups on Safari. I like the tabs better on Safari too because you can close the tab w/o the extra step of opening the tab and then closing. Those who've used tabs in Safari and Firefox know what I mean. Call me lazy or whatever...but it works.

Make sure to download some extensions for Firefox. They make a great browser even better.

Firefox here, I hope you all uninstall it now though. The more people that have it, the more viruses and exploits that will be made for it. Then I'll have to switch to something else again.
