It's clearly the way to go. I don't use IE at all.

I have been using Firefox for a long time.

It's good.

Better than IE.

I like the way that you can set up a theme that's almost the same as my Apple G4. Sooo much nicer.

That means that the explanation I gave you for substituting the web address for the words "from here" was wrong

yes it saves computer memory.Instead if opening multiple instances of IEXPLORER.exe and thus grabbin more memory..when u open in tabs..it just uses one FIREFOX.exe thus saving memory..

have been using it for 2 + years now..and I am very very impressed..for all new users goto tools and options and then uncheck "allow websites to install software". that way ur comp remains safe even when u enter bad neighborhood sites on the www..

Oh I love opening tabs. The best way to go is to tie it to the middle mouse button, so as you are reading, you can middle click to open a tab, and then get to it when you are done with what you are doing.
