I downloaded Firefox browser today thanks to Chad - seems pretty kewl so far. No pop-ups and it moved most of my stuff from Internet Explorer. Did I mention NO pop-ups?

Firefox is the best browser out there. Microsoft has numerous security holes and is slow to patch them, but firefox isn't buggy. I believe one reason that internet explorer is so buggy is the fact that Bill Gates had to make Windows dependent on IE. This was the way he legitimized having it preinstalled on every computer. Another reason may be the fact that no one but microsoft understands how it works, and without a userbase with the source, errors are hard to find.

There is a saying that with more eyes all bugs become shallow, and this browser is a fine example of that.

Go firefox!

Also most of the "Spyware" is written for Internet Explorer and does not effech those using Fire Fox :-)

Is where you can download it.

Firefox is giving Microsoft a run for its money, and the competition can only be good for everyone. I understand those who enjoy the ease of Internet Explorer since its already on their computers. For the serious or even habitual webuser, firefox is almost a must.
