As I can always be counted on to say...
Not as good as Avant Browser (www.avantbrowser.com).
AvantBrowser, also free --
- has movable tabs at the bottom of the screen
- built-in popup blocker
- minimizes to the systray (i.e. off the bar), the back up with a click; is fast
- reads all internet script rather than snottily refusing some as "improper"....
And other cool stuff. Try it out!

I am using Mozilla and was thinking of switching, but didn't know if Firefox copies my saved e-mails, address book and bookmarks.
For that matter, I am going to install Windows XP on my computer and don't want to lose all my addresses and e-mails.
Does anyone know where I can find the file or folder that stores all that info so I can copy it to a CD before reformatting my computer?

I use Firefox v0.9.2 and it does very well. I also have Firebird 0.7 and I say the same for that. The plugins can be a pain in te butt but once I'm over that, it is a very good browser. I have two computers, one a Pentium II, 266 MHz Gateway tower and the other, an IBM 570 Thinkpad, Pentium II, 366 MHz, which I mainly use and use now. I use Windows 98SE, I like the tabbed browsing and on this Thinkpad, every once in a while when I startup IE 6.0, it freezes and I have to stop it and start it again. I still keep IE since I do websites and there might be a time I might need IE but Firefox is the way to go.

Yes. I use it and I love it. I had up to ten page/tabs open on election night. No need for TV.

I've been using it for about a month. I have a bit of a problem with some password protected sites (I get a secondary request for 'master password' which I have to ESC out of) but even with that prefer it to IE.
Tabs are great, and tab extensions make them even better (I use tabbrowser). There is also an 'open with IE extension' which I like because of the above problem.
Heck, why don't you give it a try? It will not screw up your system. Just don't make it the default browser until you have made up your mind.
