Is Firefox really better?

Nicole, I have ran into FireFox having problems with multiple Gmail accounts, just because of the way Gmail's coded.

The thing that makes Firefox better is the add ons. Without the add ons I wouldn't consider it better.

I read through some of the answers and some like it, some don't...

I have worked with Mozilla products, before there was FireFox, and they work at putting out the most secure software they can. One of they ways is be releasing updates more frequently, some of the others don't.

All have problems with Add-ons, I know this personally, while testing Chrome. Chrome was working great, until I installed an add-on that's code allowed a virus attack. One reason to have good anti-virus software running.

And working as a computer tech for years, Internet Explorer is one of the worst for letting viruses in.

The best thing you can do, to keep safe with all of them... Install the updates when they come out and always have virus protection installed and up to date also.

I think this now has turned into a post, more then a reply, so I'll end here :D

I lied...:rolleyes: because I just noticed I didn't tell what I use. Not that you care after reading all the way down to here,:eek: I use them ALL, BUT FireFox is my main browser.

OK now I'm finished;)

According to me, Firefox is more secure, faster, easier to use and generally does everything better than other browser. Firefox has different codes in the browser and different ways to decode the websites making it a faster browser, most web surfers use Firefox, if you don't have it you should get it ASAP.

Firefox is really better but it has only one problem which is crashes down. If mozila corporation fix this problem than fire fox will be the best browser.

I recently downloaded the firefox 4.0 beta 1 to give it a try and help them with the feedback.

I'm loving it so far. I've noticed quicker loading time for pages and I'm digging the new features...

FYI

FireFox have Crash Down problem.. even in 3.6.2 version

till now u also use to think that Firefox is really the best search engine but ever since i started using Chrome i changes my mind. As Chrome is a much better web browser compared to the Firefox. As its much fatser and extra features too.

I like firefox .i used it since one year ago.it has more tools than IE

Thing that sets Firefox apart from other browser is that you can restore your browser or your tabs when your computer accidentally dies.

In case anyone is interested. Mozilla is beta testing Firefox 4 and they are specifically looking for women to join the beta test process. Apparently 96% of their current beta testers are men.

I'm currently using the beta version of firefox 4 and I am loving it. If you are interested, visit the Mozilla blog for details and to download the beta version

I prefer Firefox over chrome and IE, just because of plugins related to SEO.

Agree. Pluggins are what keeps me loyal to Firefox.

If you are browsing all day those plugins can make the world of difference.

I use Google Chrome because of the HTML5 features and speed of the rendering and JavaScript engines. IE 7 and IE 6 are rather old and do not follow web standards. IE 8 is better but it has none of the HTML5 features that are used in some of the latest web applications. IE 9 should rectify some of that but I will probably still stick with Chrome.

Chrome and Safari both use the same rendering engine, Webkit. They use separate JavaScript rendering engines but they are both pretty comparable. Webkit implements more of the HTML5 and CSS3 proposed standards than any other. Opera and Firefox are slightly behind that, they do parts of the proposed standards but not quite as much as Webkit. They also do not have the some codecs for video that Chrome and Safari have. IE 8 and older are much further behind as they implement no HTML5 pieces and have had a history of implementing HTML 4 and before in a way that is different than Mozilla (the other historical browser) and other standards-based browsers.

I would give Firefox or Google Chrome a try. They both have plugins, a large support base, and render pages close to what the specs dictate. Make sure you test out your pages on Chrome, Firefox and IE to make sure your audience can read it and the design is consistent.

Graphics of Chrome are brighter but firefox plugin make it very useful......

I pretty much rotate equally between Firefox, Chrome and Opera.

At the moment Firefox 3 seems to be crashing if you have intermittent connection problems or if a single tab crashes the entire browser stops responding, for that reason I would recommend Chrome.

However Firefox has some really cool extensions that don't have Chrome equivalents.

If you want speed - I personally think that Opera is the browser to use.

It's interesting to see that Chrome's market share has topped 10%. If you want to have a look at what percentage of browser's people are using there is a great article on Sitepoint.com.

I use Google Chrome. Simply the best IMHO. Liz
