Phoenix Network Forums

I prefer firefox due to the amount of extensions and user friendly tools.

My favourite browser is Mozilla Firefox due to its speed and stability. Also it is much safer than IE. I've tried opera the latest version but it seemed slower than Firefox(i have tuned firefox using a tutorial from a website). I am a little concerned though because Firefox is becoming more and more popular and more hackers are learning how to exploit it's vulnerabilities

Yeah ,but It`s not so proprietory as IE ,and M$ doesn`t give a d@mm about the vulnarabilities ,Mozilla fixes them fast ,btw ,firefox is faster with few tabs than opera ,but when you open a lot of tabs ,opera is faster than firefox.

Microsoft do care about the vulnerabilities, because they're drawing IE users away - they just suck at filling the holes up.

Opera for several reasons

Security
Speed
Tabbed browsing
More stable than Firefox in terms of memory leaks and crashes.

Firefox, of course. It's fast, streamlined, configurable, and most importantly, it aint IE.

you can get session saving in firefox... as well as a host of other excellent things via extensions.

and yeah, my vote's for firefox, only firefox can become exactly whatever it is i need it to be.

i think mozilla firefox "eating" all the others !

Yes but many newbie users don`t realize the dangers of using IE ,btw ,there will still be opera addicted ppl like me

:arrow: explorer is not mass up whit all active x and flash when brows

I like Opera, becouse its fast, easy to use, and got some usefull features. I use it for quite long time now, and dont have any problems
Although Firefox isnt that bad too, sometimes i use it too

The same goes for me as arguments to use Firefox. Guess it's just that I haven't tried Opera yet, been using Firefox ever since it was still called Firebird... Apart from your fourth argument ofcourse, I don't experience any crashes yet Firefox does seem to be quite a memory hogger. Maybe I should give Opera a try soon.

Apart from these arguments Firefox's extensions are great, as well as the fact of it being standalone vs. integrated into Windows like IE.

You should realy try out what happens when you open a lot of webpages with firefox....I like firefox tow ,but opera is much more user centric then firefox and very secure.

i really like firefox because it's very minimal at first, but you can load many modules and it's much more secure than the IE.

I don't think so...I have been using Firefox for one and a half year and at least the latest versions are very fast. I've had more than 15 tabs opened and the speed was still great. the only thing I can complain about is the amount of resorces it requires
