Just wondering how many members here are using Firefox for their main web browser???
Okay so here starts my pitch on why Firefox is a better web browser than Internet Explorer:
Let’s look at the spell check for vBulletin. If you are using Internet Explorer, the site directs you to download iSpell which is browser plug-in for Internet Explorer, but it's not that great. If you are browsing the site using Firefox, no spell check button shows up because Firefox has a built in spell check that will check your spelling as you type. It will work on anything you type into any webpage. If you don't know about it, it works like the spell check in Microsoft Word where as you type, if you misspell a word it will underline it in red and you can just right click the word and the spelling suggestions will pop up. It's great because you don’t have to click a button to spell check the page and you can use it on any forum, web-based email accounts, and other web forms you need to fill in. The spell checker alone is worth switching to Firefox but there are many other good reasons to use the browser. I’m not going to list them all here but if you are interested, just google it or read this: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/switch.html
XS650.com and most other sites on the internet work better in Firefox because Firefox is more standards based. That means when people design a webpage, they don’t have to add a lot of extra garbage or quirky coding for the browser to display the page properly. Since so many people still use IE, website designers still have to program a lot of work arounds for things that don’t work right in IE, but work fine in all the other browsers. It’s pretty sad really that Microsoft can’t get this right and it makes for a lot of extra work when designing webpages.
So make the switch to Firefox!
It's fast, it's free, and it's easy.

I think most people just use whatever comes pre-installed with their operating system and if they gave Firefox a try, they wouldn't switch back.
Anyone here love Firefox? Or anyone that won't switch to it for some reason that I don't know about? Let's hear it.

started using it because it has a better firewall than others, and was fed up with pop ups all the time..
