I've just started using Firefox because of a problem I had with IE and Twitter (a blank page). I've only been using it for a day and I'm already impressed, especially the speed. I was just wondering if any of you had opinions, positive or negative, about Firefox. Any suggestions, warnings, tips, etc. would be appreciated.

Yeah I converted over to Firefox recently in the past couple of years. I was impressed how well it worked too.

I love your concept of time.

Well yeah considering the universe is billions of years old a couple of years is the blink of an eye.

I don't understand why people feel the need to put a timeline on the universe. The universe has always existed and will always exist as a big, vast, empty nothingness. The things that exist in the universe however, does have a timeline. You know, like stars, planets and other things that're made up of stuff.

I feel like people have decided that nothing is a thing that was created at some point. Nothing is just an abscence of matter, and is infinite in time both forwards and backwards, and everything that does exist, is what we decided IS the universe.

Here's my vision of it. Imagine a frying pan. The frying pan is an outtake of the universe, it's basically empty space with nothing in it. It's always existed. Even though "always" is a difficult term for some people to wrap their heads around, but let's go with it. In this frying pan, we drop an egg. This is the known universe. Galaxies, solar systems, planets, the whole shebang. Now, the feeling I get is that people believe that when the universe kickstarted back whenever, it encompassed EVERYTHING, including the big nothingness that stuff is taking up place in. Which to me, just sounds silly.

Also, Firefox is extremely good and has managed to convert me from Opera, my previous browser. Opera is actually quite good, but I had problems with Java and Flashplayer, and when Youtube quit on me, it was time to make a change.

Let's just agree to disagree on this one Fred.

the IE explorer beta is really fast.

I've always been a Mozilla user... I started with Netscape in the 90s and began using Firefox when they announced that they were going to stop making Netscape... Kind of pissed me off, but I'm quite happy with Firefox...

I love firefox.

My Best Man converted me.

Check out x-marks for it.

It is a cool inter browser sync for bookmarks.

It was going to shut down but they found an owner, so it should be saved.

Firefox + AdBlock Plus + NoScript = Heaven!

Well, the Cub has spoken and that's good enough for me!

I know about adblock, and I've just done a quick google on NoScript so I'm convinced.
