Is Firefox For Everyone? - Comments Page 10

I have noticed that my Acrobat reader crashes when I open a pdf file using Firefox. With IE 6 I can read a pdf file. So I have to switch to IE6 when I get a pdf file in my email box. Gu-ha

EDITOR'S NOTE: I recommend Fox-it Reader as a good (fast) alternative to Acrobat.

I have been using Firefox for over a year now, and Mozilla before that. I far preferred Firefox to the old IE. I recently installed IE 7 and I have to admit that is has the most obnoxious interface I've ever encountered in a major market product. I will continue to keep it up to date because there are some sites that just require it. I will also continue to use Firefox as my primary browser. It works better for me, it's not as much of a security issue, and most of all, I like it.

I have mixed feelings about MS, but none about their browser. For my use and habits, it is a poorly designed effort on the part of Microsoft to lock in the market. I will continue to use Firefox as my primary browser until a better one comes along. I sincerely doubt that better product will be produced by Microsoft.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Interesting... I've been using both FF and IE7 on side-by-side monitors for a few weeks. I was just thinking how interesting it was that they are so SIMILAR. For basic browing and use of tabs I don't think most people would see a big difference. What do you see as "obnoxious" about IE7?

IE is so similar to Firefox because Microsoft copied Firefox. Just like they're copying Mac OS with Vista. They work so hard at making it difficult for other people to copy they're work but they themselves copy others all the time. What a monolithic monopolistic hypocrite. Stick to Linux and Mac OS.

IE sucks. it's the worst browser out there. anything is better. personally i don't like Safari very much, though. Opera 9 is my favorite and FX2 is second. NN9 is also very good because it's an exact replica of FX2 (execpt for the color scheme) IE7 just copied everything from FX2 and Vista is a complete ripoff of 10.4 Tiger. i can't wait to see what's happened by the end of '07, Firefox will continue to destroy IE and Leopard will come out. DEATH TO THE IMPERIALIST OPPRESSORS!

My friend got me to try Firefox and I use it almost exclusively now. Personally, I like the that I can customize my browser with the Add-ons.

I used firefox exclsivly.
I love the cool addons like Cool iris and Flash Blocker. The latter is invaluable when surfing sites as it automaticaly blocks any flash ads and other crap that tries to pop up. This makes for a faster and more pleasant browsing experience. I also love the new skins. Recently i have had to use IE and i can't wait to get back to the fox :).
Good on you Mozillia, keep up the good work.
