Prefer Firefox much better over IE7.

What browser do you have?

I read a few articles before about how firefox 2.0 was going to be delayed to December, November at the earliest. I'm wondering if the official IE7 release caused the developers to rush to get FF2 out the door.

Been running it for a few days now. Works like a champ. Cant wait for the new skins and Tab Browser Prefs to show up!

Is anyone using Comodo Antispam with ThunderBird? I need to get mine hooked up.

I like firefox and use it. One of the biggest gripes I have in realtion to the Mozilla suite is that firefox makes it so hard to re-enable cookies at a site that has been blocked. In Mozilla you can just click a button that says "re-enable cookies for this site". or "unblock this site" or whatever it is. In firefox you have to figure out the address for the cookie and copy and paste it into a dialog box. Or you can go through a list of zillions of cookies on the block list and try to find it. I don't know why they decided to make it so hard in firefox.

Can't go wrong with firefox....I use it more than opera now....although Lynx will always have a place in my heart.

Have installed it and am using it with several ad-ons.

How secure is it?

I have SYSTEM MECHANIC latest with Kaspersky Anti-virus.

Anything I need to be careful to do or not do?

I'm holding off getting Firefox 2.0 until most of the major extensions and themes actually work with Firefox 2.0. I got burned big time switching from Firefox 1.0.7 to 1.5, which caused no end of problems because I had to wait a while for the extensions and updates to work with Firefox 1.5.

How do we use it? Do we just click and go? Do we have to download something?
Thanks for any added info.

How have you guys gotten Firefox 2.0 RC3 to work? I dl'ed and installed it and had nothing but problems. No working back or forward buttons, middle click to close windows was broken, lost my old bookmarks and couldn't save any new ones....it was a real disaster. I unstalled it after about 10 min and went back to 1.5.0.7.
