it's better for watching porn.
mousegestures + some adblocks and a good pop-up stopper makes for a jolly good time

what vlarix said about porn plus lots and lots of plugins, practically you choose how you want your browser to be built. you choose, NOT microsoft, right..

the Find function is better in firefox - it doesnt get in the bloody way of what you are trying to read!

firefox is more user-friendly, lots less errors. The tab function is also highly convenient. less java errors as well. plus, there's less security loopholes than explorer. it's safer, and the options have a bit more depth than explorer.
basically, it's much less of a pain in the ass.

I use a mac mainly and the only thing that crashes on it is internet Explorer. and it'd crash often.
I have Safari as well, but I don't like it for some reason..

plus the mac version of explorer often renders the pages rediculously badly... like a column of text will be broken up so that each line is only one word, and the words extend and overlap everything.

hmm. I've got an older mac that I am leasing from school, which I assumed had an updated browser. I downloaded firefox myself after it kept crashing, and never really looked into it.
Though sadly, I bet 2003-era browsers are fairly large demographic.

Yeah, I guess habit has lots to do with that. I used that IE version for quite some time, but switched over to Safari when it was in beta, I had to use FireFox for about six months last year cause the old 400mhz imac and an update of Safari wouldn't work together. I got a new one and switched back to Safari - the difference was quite staggering.
If you like FireFox then by all means use it, it's great, but I only use it as a backup browser myself - until my new comp gets old and tired :)
