FFF (FireFox Fan)

  by afroxav

Ever since I've turned down IE for FF, I've never looked back. Firefox made a lot of new functionality that are included in many more browser, such as the add-on system. It enables user to add or remove functionalities from Firefox, making it the most customizable browser ever. There is however some downside. Memory usage. Firefox uses a lot of memory. Partly because it was founded on another old browser, partly because it had an exponential ... [More] growth. However, never version tend to correct a lot of the memory leaks, and Firefox 3 uses a lot less memory than Firefox 2, which brought a lot of GUI changes. [Less]

Ridiculous

    by dandv

While FF is a capable browser, every new version makes Firefox slower and slow. Bugs that are YEARS old don't get fixed (skipping while playing Youtube videos, for example, or a half-decent bookmark manager).

If it weren't for the plugins, I'd use Opera.

The best

  by Lars Wesselius

It is the best browser at the moment. Its faster, smarter, better looking, and more free than IE. The ability to install addons and themes are simply genius. This makes browsing a whole lot more fun. I simply cannot think of any browser better than this one, so dont bother looking further - this is your stop.

Firefox is good, but...

    by Jumpin-Banana

First I want to thank all for developing this greate peace of softeware.

I use Firefox for my dayli Browsing and Development tool. With all the available extensions and easy to use interface, it is my Browser of choice.

But for those "I hate all none FF browsers" I have a litle thing to think about.
What would be FF with out IE,Opera and all the others ?

Also the developer should think about the memory usage. This needs to be improved.

Anyway nice and very good software.

Wow, just wow

  by dennis56

I've used Firefox since early 1.5, and I say this is definitely the best browser around, any knowledgeable person uses Firefox, if only it came with windows then Firefox would have well over 75% of the internet

The best browser for me

Web Development, Plugins and appearance.

  by dessus

As a web developer, I am developing XHTML 1.1 pages and moving towards other standards such as SVG. Firefox 3 now supports XHTML 1.1 compliant SVG which is cool.

The large plugin community for Firefox is definately an advantage, personally I like NoScript.

A downside to Firefox is that firefox really requires skins (which there are plenty of) so that it doesn't look ugly in comparison to IE on Vista (ie the themes are ... [More] reasonably matching). Purhaps a suggested theme depending on the OS that its installed on, during the install process. I imagine many users just use the default skin, not bothering to find a better one.

I would like to see a feature in Firefox like in MSN Messenger that trouble shoots internet connections. It has a list of 10 things including things like IP allocation/ Gateway / DNS etc that it checks showing the user where the problem could be. I have had to remotely help people over the phone with various IT problems and these sorts of features i think could be easy to implement. I found that we recommended the webbrowser to users that was the easiest for us to help them with.
