In the past two weeks, Internet users have downloaded over 4.5 million copies of Firefox, the excellent browser available for free from the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. Yes, there are hundreds of millions of IE users, but Firefox is gaining fast, and IE is losing market share for the first time in years. The switch to Firefox will happen even faster as more people realize the full power of this browser, much of it provided by computer hobbyists who are scrambling to create a cornucopia of useful add-ons.

I had been using the basic Mozilla 1.7 but now use Firefox as my default browswer on home computer. It is great and at times moves quickly. Internet explorer does work better with sp2 on this computer but I will stick with Firefox

I lost about 5 sets when I upgraded. I figure the creators will issue updates of the extensions soon.

I've been using it for the last month, and I'm VERY pleased with it. It's the best browser I've ever used, if not one of the best over all applications!
Another indespensible add-in: WeatherFox.
