Too bad that "urgent upgrade" broke my Firefox today. I ended up over-loading it from their website to get it back.

Other than that? I love it, and for 90% of the Web sites it works much better.

Been using it since Beta.

When I want raw speed - I shift from Safari to it. Truly smokes.

Ever since I got my uncle to install Firefox, the almost-daily tech support calls (invariably to deal with some hack attempt, trojan, or serial pop-ups) have stopped completely.

Thanks. Useful article and thread. Instead of downloading it from the internet, I ordered it on CD with an accompanying manual. Everything I've heard about it is good.

I just d/led Firefox to give it a try. Is there a quick way to import bookmarks, etc. from Safari? I only got an option to import from Mozilla.

Best browser I've ever used. I haven't ran Internet Explorer on my computer in over a month, it's like being born again.

I'm still reluctant to say Firefox beats the original Mozilla, but Firefox is more than impressive compared to all the other browsers.

The "Phoencity" and "Noia 2 Extreme" themes are must haves.

I started using Firefox about three weeks ago.
Loving it! No problems so far!

Thanks!

If there is, I've never found it. The only way I know is to export bookmarks as an HTML file from Safari and then import that file into Firefox. That will leave you lots of work within the Manage Bookmarks window.

Safari seems to be very unfriendly to bookmarks from other browsers, as well. I originally started using Firefox because it would import my Netscape Navigator bookmarks straight across, but Safari will not.

The link below covers that very topic; yes, you can.
