Firefox helping to make Web better for all

In the past two weeks, Internet users have downloaded over 4.5 million copies of Firefox, the excellent browser available for free from the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. Yes, there are hundreds of millions of IE users, but Firefox is gaining fast, and IE is losing market share for the first time in years. The switch to Firefox will happen even faster as more people realize the full power of this browser, much of it provided by computer hobbyists who are scrambling to create a cornucopia of useful add-ons.

HipHipHorray for FireFox -- after using Opera for a couple of years, I switched to FireFox because it works with sites that Opera can't cope with (like my bank's secured customer login). Everyone I know who says they're tired of popups gets a FireFox referral from me as the "fix" to their Internet Explorer - rather than explain the differences between browsers, I just tell 'em that FireFox is the upgrade for IE.

I've had Firefox crash when encountering pages with VML and even certain CSS.
