      For those just getting their head round the fact that you have just updated to Firefox 4....

      ....next month Firefox 5 is launched – June 21st (you can download the beta here: Mozilla Download)

      ....in a few months it is Firefox 6 (currently downloadable at Firefox Nightly Builds)

      ....and then later in the year Firefox 7 believe it or not!!


      This means that just this year alone there will be 4 main releases of Firefox 4, 5, 6 and 7!!!

      And a strange step they are taking is that Firefox 5 for the Android will not have Flash.

      Used to use Firefox, but we didn't get on. I'm a Chrome man . . . Waay.

      Sorry mate Chrome has long since moved ahead - Firefox is good for developers but Chrome rocks .........

      Depends on how much of a geek you are.

      IE works fine for this site, searching for porn and buying spurs tickets.

      Don't do much else

      I was w/ Firefox through version 3, but version 4 basically looks like Chrome but wasn't as fast, in my experience. Plus for some reason when I streamed sports, Firefox started acting up in all kinds of ways: always super slow (more than it should be for streaming video) and it would randomly freeze on a regular basis. If I were more of a computer nerd, I'd have figured the problem out on my own, but instead I just made the switch to Chrome. Really liking it so far, too.

      I would have to say that I started out with firefox and it was definitely better than the internet explorer which provided a lesser level of browsing experience. Though there were some aspects that Chrome got the better of firefox. Loading plug-ins with high requirements would usually take longer on firefox probably because of chrome's hardware acceleration. The new firefox is boasting to have the same, but Chrome just was able to implement it earlier.

      I would still choose firefox though, any given day.

      Three third Party Add-ons with Firefox version 3.5.3 and you arguably have the safest browser on the planet.

      1) Cookie Monster

      2) AdBlock Plus (ABP)

      3) NoScript

      and a couple more useful tools: Quickpagezoom and foxclocks

      DO NOT upgrade to any other version of firefox as from this version things started to go wrong, like really wrong especially with media content - which i think has something to do with the flash plugin wanting its own connection out of firefox through your firewall (that is really suspect to me, big brother lol)

      I used to use Firefox but later found Opera to be better. Now I've converted to Chrome. Firefox is way behind.
