    The one thing I like about it is the fact that you can multi tab surf, now all my windows are really neat.. I also like the extensions you can get.

    How can you develop firefox extensions, and why do people want to do it for free?! DEBATE! :D

    Extensions are the first thing why I use FF... You can make a very powerful piece of software out of FF with it...

    lol greg, what the hell is Opera?
    I heard that that's being used for the WII.
    but I also have that on my PSP. ;)

    Forced bookmarks, like I saw this extention that played off a proxy...

    How do you make extentions? What codes do you use? Can anyone give me a basic sample code?

    opera is even faster than firefox but it doesn't allow extensions, but it has a lots of stuff built in, like download manager or torrent client...

    FireFox is the best browser in my opinion. You see the way MS has incorporated tabbed browsing in IE7? They stole that idea from Mozilla because it was that good! Bunch of cheapskates.

    Yep, I really like some features which I have in habit now. Can't live without mouse gestures, middle click etc... and O. is really smooth. But everyone use this one which is best to him, I don't like to convince anyone.

    FireFox made over $52 million last year from the built in google adsense search alone, so thats why its free :)

    Firefox or Flock are much better than IE7 IMO. Firefox had a bad period with memory leak issues but its a lot better now. Works great on Linux too.

    Internet Explorer and Opera are faster than Firefox, from my experiences. I will stick with Internet Explorer 7 for a long time.
