Advantages:
Pop up blocker.
Open source.
Tabbed browsing.
Extensions.
Dozens of skins.
Disadvantages:
First load slow.
Can be a resource hog.

The #1 reason for using Firefox over IE is the simple fact that Firefox is not tied to your OS.
That in itself is reason enough to use anything else other then IE.

If the website isnt, amzon.com, ebay.com, or firefox.com, then you arent going to get anywhere, very fast.
I use Firefox for all my browsing apart from when I come to this forum...then I have to use IE so that I can use the Mod tools, smilies etc.
Soooooo anyone with a fix for that?
i think sm ilies w ork fine now

First load slow ? Does Fifefox still have that option to load at start up ? But I guess that would play in to the second disadvantage ! To be honest never noticed before . I guess we should be thankful for the choice ,as someone said the other day I use both.

it seems to start up a little faster in the more recent versions, or i've just gotten used to it.
something i like is being able to shove your own personalised version, extensions and all, on a portable drive then run it on another computer
