Firefox, so hard to switch...

I tried firefox once, it was good but nothing special. I would have carried on using if it actually loaded stuff up as fast as IE (pictures were really delayed on it). The main feature I liked was tabbed browsing

 

Speaking of tabbed browsing, it's a feature that's been fantastic for those stuck with dial-up (I used to be one of those people). To speed up my browsing (before FF), what I used to do was open a bunch of IE windows, wait for the first site to load, and then in all the others load the next 5 sites or so I was planning on visiting next. By the time I was finished visiting the first site, usually at least one of the others had finished, so I could "instantly" read that page.

Switching through a bunch of IE windows can get to be tedious, so when I came across FF with it's tabbed browsing, it was a no-brainer as to whether or not to switch. It's great, even browsing the DP forums to be able to view the new posts and just right-click --> open in new tab on all the interesting threads and go from there. Sure, IE7's offering tabbed browsing, but they're a little late...

 

I only use Firefox to check my sites look ok on it, otherwise it's IE7 all the way for me. I love the anti-aliasing, zoom, and drag-as-you-like-margins in the print preview. Can't wait for its official release. Anyone know when?

 

Meh, I had a hard time making the jump from IE to FF, but the plugins are completely my style, completely worth the switch.

 

Wont be official until vista comes our at the end of the year.
