I installed Firefox on both my computers...On one it seems to have slowed down the comuter considerable ( It has 256 ), so I stopped using it... The other unit is fine...(?)
My question is: What IS the advantage of using Firefox.. So far, I don't see any at all, in fact I believe some things don't work with it...
Opinions ?

For me, the advantage of using Firefox or any browser other than IE, is that virtually all the malware, adware, spyware, etc. is written to target Internet Explorer. I suspect that as Firefox becomes more and more popular, bad guys will start targeting it, but right now it is relatively safe. Plus I like some of it's features, the themes and extensions available, like mouse gestures, FTP client, and so on.

Since there are programs for all those problems - and I have them - then Mozilla is superflous...

So, unless I heard anything else, its agonna be bye-bye Firefox...

I love Firefox. The main reason is security. I love the tabs! I don't get popups, the icons are nicer and its simple to use. I get an automatic google bar and I can can add any extension that IE has. I think its great! The only feature I like better is IE Spell. But then, all I have to do is learn how to spell and I won't have any problems at all!

Well geeze, I don't get pop-ups on IE either...
I deleted Mozilla a while ago on this computer and it is performing much better...
Tonight, its going to be deleted on my home computer....

Firefox is back in the den.... Both units running much better without it....
