Don't they both have the same rendering engine?

Netscape 6 didn't. Mozilla and Firefox do, but Firefox's is tweaked.

This thread isn't a browser war (yet) and wasn't intended to. It is to state your favorite browser, not to discuss which browser is best.... If someone states he likes his textbrowser from 1995 best then fine, end of discussion.....

And talking about old stuff:

Netscape 6 is extremely old. In those days FF wasn't even a decent piece of software so to speak... Also, Netscape, Mozilla, FF all do use the same engine (sort of)...

I sue firefox.....used to use IE but found that if you wanted to download things it could auto download something else without you knowing...therefore endangering your computer's health.

I prefer Firefox for its wide array of extensions & themes, it's RSS compatible (that thing is GOD (not literally, but you know)) and all around it's a really great browser

Firefox for it's unending amount of customizability. I find that the startup time is not that much slower than IE, but since I have so many plugins my startup time is slower. But then again, I also use the Litestep shell, so IE isn't preloaded when I boot (since explorer isn't loaded when I boot).

FF all the way!..altho in some cases i use a little IE too but mostly FireFox cuz its fast..i tweaked it a little by changing the send request numbers in about:config

this browser just works for me
i suggest it to everyone

Not another browser war

Ok here is the lowdown ....

I was a normal IE user who had 1 prob which was that my pc would get slow due to IE

I made a poll here to c whats the major browser and i found that ff was
no. 1 and IE was a distant 2nd and opera was even further away in 3rd
.... not many avant users and all

So i switched to FF and i have never looked back .... its fast (not too
much ram consumption) and has pretty nice features like the bookmarks
bar :

i use IE cause all i want my browser to do is view web pages and IE does that the best IMO plus it loads the fastest on my PC

That's the strongest reason I've seen so far. Well done! BTW it loads fast because it is always loaded because of shell integration.
