i first used firefox on a very slow worldcall wireless connection when my IE would not even open up google properly and i became a fan of it.its ease of use its functionality and excellent speed were my reasons for becominga firefoxaholic but now thats changed .Firefox has lost innovation and chrome is the new firefox whether anybody agrees ot not.its hip user interface places and speed and ease of use(all of which put frefox at the top)make it teh umber one browser.Firefox needs a major re do both in terms of speed and user interaction if it wants users like me to stay loyal to t.

Hi,
I am not a TeCHIE but i found that GOOGLE CHROME is now the fastest and slimmest browser.Most of the bugs it had been resolved. Try it.IE8 is good but comes with lot of baggage like bing etc.

I love Firefox. I love the Add-ons, I love how I can customize it to my requirements.

I gave up on Explorer because it kept crashing and on my new laptop I upgraded to IE 8 hoping it was a new upgrade and much better and stable.
It crashed again !

I use my Firefox, open 20-30 tabs at one time and never feel the CPU slowing down and affecting the Cache…IE not only slows down but crashes immediately.

Firefox is the people’s browser.

@Talha: The facility to add plugins to the user-interface of the browser is what makes it apart from all the browsers. The Fennec browser (Firefox for mobile devices) has the same capabilities. Read this for the enhancements made to the browser: http://verticaltangent.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/whats-new-in-mozilla-firefox-3-6/

@Pakistani-Blogger: That is pretty much what the article says.

The first evolution of open source netscape was not firefox. It was the Mozilla Internet Suite. It consisted of a browser, an email client and a WYSIWYG website editor.

Firebird came later as a standalone browser. Firebird used to be the less stable than the suite and was considered more bleeding edge. However it proved more popular than the suite and hence overshadowed it. Later they changed the name to firefox because of trademark concerns.

The Mozilla foundation gave up developing the Mozilla suite and instead passed it on to other open source developers who continue to work on it. Today its called the seamonkey internet suite and you can download it from http://www.seamonkey-project.org.

So the reality is that netscape evolved into mozilla internet suite which later forked off into firefox.

Firefox is the only choice for techies. In fact, various free plugins like FireBug, FireFTP and many others make it ideal for both technical and non-technical people
