Firefox - Good or bad?

[masshuu]

So i am wondering about how people feel about firefox.

I don't really like it, its basicly the micrsosft windows of the internet.

They took a grip on the web when IE was not very good and every other website could exploit IEs security flaws.

Many of the reasons that i hear people say they like it, genrally are not valid.

I usually use Opera, and if i need to, i open IE 7, since many people are igonrant of Opera.

Many people say that Firefox is faster than IE, which my experince as said otherwise.

Many people have said that Firefox is more secure than IE, which i find not true.

The main reason i don't use IE all the time is because its tricky sometimes when when saving passwords.

So i wana know why people here use firefox.

I use firefox but I agree with you entirely. It really does suck. It has memory leaks, its unstable, and a massive bloated browser. However, I use it because of compatibility. I have never found a site not to work with it, whereas with Opera I have found several.

I don't use IE because it is Windows-only and I don't see it as being any better than firefox.

January's browser statistics seem to disagree with you. Microsoft holds a much higher percentage of the PC operating system market than 37%, and still holds over half the web browsing community.

Firefox is Firefox. I use it as my main browser, and LOVE it. I also have Opera, but don't use it. I like Firefox's sleekness, and it is a great tool to have for your web development, especially if you have the Web Developer, and FireBug Plug-ins.

Firefox is real good. It is setting the standards for other browsers to compete with it.

lol

i mean windows was the most sucessfull to mass produce and mass distribute an operating system, which is why its a standerd now.

specially if you have the Web Developer, and FireBug Plug-ins

i don't like fancy web developers, and opera has its own tools, http://dev.opera.com/tools/

It is setting the standards for other browsers to compete with it.

not really, since verson 2 does not follow standerds set by http://www.webstandards.org/

also, you can edit sourceode to pages in opera.

I don't really care. Whatever gets me online and gets the job done is what I use.

I thought browsers were meant to comply with standards set by the W3C ;)
