• Lots of plugins
  
• Loads of Themes
  
• Faster than internet explorer

err... you can use that as a homepage with IE as well
Just put http://www.google.com/firefox as your start page.

lol I get confused. Apparently i'm using 0.10 when I thought I was using 1.0.

i always use FF.... and ive been using 1.0 since when it came out...

wow, i never knew of that...pretty useful for me

Well there is a Google Search intergrated into the browser you know............

I've been using Firefox since 0.9, and it's very good.

Has a few minor bugs, but overall it's a great browser, much better than IE.

I've also been using Firefox for quite some time now, and I like its speed, no doubt about it. However, there are a few problems...



*Sometimes when browsing forums, FF won't automatically adjust the page to the size of your browser window, thus forcing you to horizontal scroll back and forth for every line of text (a pain the the neck)

*Search bar way too difficult to widen (you need to manually create a configuration file and then put some settings in there.

*PDF files cause FF to crash - each and every time. Tested the reader with IE, works just fine. Haven't tried reinstalling either programs, though. Maybe this would help...

I find that firefox crashes much more often then IE, in fact i think 0.1 is more stable than 1.0

pdf files never have any problem with my firefox 1.0, try reinstalling the reader

All in all, I like firefox better due to the tab browsing thingy and extensions I use IE to load pages that don't work properly in firefox

fixing the page width issue is easy with the bookmarklet that i have attached whenever it is run it will remove the scroll bar by wrapping all the text.
and pdf filkes work fine for me maby you need to reinstalll the latest one from adobe?

make a new bookmark called wrap and then in the location feild paste this

code:

---

javascript:(function() { var D = document; F(D.body); function F(n) { var u, r, c, x; if (n.nodeType == 3) { u = n.data.search(/\S{45}/); if (u >= 0) { r = n.splitText(u + 45); n.parentNode.insertBefore(D.createElement('wbr'), r); } } else if ((n.tagName != 'STYLE') && (n.tagName != 'SCRIPT')) { for (c = 0; x = n.childNodes[c]; ++c) { F(x); } } } D.body.innerHTML += ' '; })();
