Keep in mind that
no alternative browser will beat the comfortability of a browser you've been using for years. Everything takes time. Me personally tried Firefox because i had some issues with IE, and a friend told be Firefox was very good. I installed it and a few hours later i got rid of it again. Didn't like it at all. After about a month i installed Firefox again but on my work this time. At home i was still using IE. It took me months to fully go from IE to Firefox. Now i don't like todo without it, altough i still use IE when needed like at friends/work where there is no FF installed.

I like Firefox alot, but it does not have everything, certainly not by default. Media Bar, Offline Synchronize, Security Zones, Content Advisor and ActiveX, just to name a few.

Better favorites
I personally think IE manages favourites better. Accessing your favourites is good for both, but IE can alfabethically arrange your favourites by default, FF doesn't.

People always say these things (i did too
). But give a example of which unforgivable flaw isn't fixed yet (link)? Because a lot is actually fixed in SP2 / latest patches.

just remember to click "I refuse" during the installation, I've heard it may install Java if you don't and if you thought lop.com was hard to get rid of, wait to see Java in action
I heard Plus! installs virus and tojans
. Silly Patchou, Java insn't bundeled with FF. Even if it was.. you can un-install java in Add/Remove software or/and un-install the Java FF extension (depends of which installation type you choose).

When you have like 10 IE windows open in XP then Windows will group those. When you click close group you will loose your pages as well. You can have FF warn you when you close a window with multiply tabs open if that's what you wan't. Anyway, history enables you to find back the page you closed in like 5 seconds anyway (same goes for IE here).

How does that compare to for example IE? Nobody ever downloads IE from download.com because it was included with Windows anyway. If like millions of people downloaded IE from download.com it might have had a high ranking too.
I ended up likeing Firefox mainly because it feels clean when you do a default install. Extensions enable you to add all kinds off features you want for yourself. Being able to costumize your browser like that is what does it for me.
