I'm one of those new downloaders...last week switched (of course) from IE tired of the darn popups and having to ctrl click everything I viewed.
My only complaint so far with Firefox is that html is lost on my signature with yahoo mail...but I can live with that!
My kids like the Firefox too!
Thanks for the speed up tweak...works great!
I don't know if this will work with signatures, but it gives you back some of the editing functions in Yahoo and Hotmail, (though no smilies).

Try this one instead. It's the newest, fixes a bug in Yahoo spellcheck.

There may be a few sites you will have to open in IE.
I downloaded an extension that comes in handy during that time....I right-click and say open the link in IE.
Still, Firefox is great and 98 percent of the pages load fine.
