Ya, i love it. Definately love customizing the look, and it's way faster than IE. I went back to IE just to try it out and it is wayyyy slower.

I dont really mind.... Mozilla... IE if it works i'll use it lol... i tend to use IE until it gets riddled with Adware then change over to mozilla while i try to get IE working.

I must admit that the resume file download feature on Mozilla is handy tho

I prefer IE6 with SP2, what does FF offer you really? Tabbed browsing isn't anything I find impressive.
Many claim FF is faster, not a chance.

Better security? Nope but FF is less targeted.
Adwares? Being the IE user I am I never catch anything.

Think before you click and keep your system quick & clean.

I have to agree with tweaker. I also prefer IE6 with SP2. It's very fast and I truly do not see why people think Firefox is so much faster (cause it's not). As to the security issue, FF is less targeted and therefore less vulnerable at first sight. You can always disable ActiveX and other things in IE6 anyway. I cannot agree with the adware issue. I find that I catch some (given the websites I visit). However, overall, I prefer IE6. FF is not a bad browser at all however. I simply do not like it much.

I never really liked mozilla i tried it once and i didnt like the design or the options. I usually use Internet Explorer, but when i want to open a number of pages at once, i use Opera for its tabbed browsing.
