Firefox Should Have a Warning Label

i like pithhelmet because i installed it and i've not seen an advert since. or even been told that there was any. or was even aware that there was a space for adverts on the internet (pithhelmet resizes the page to erase the blank space the advert would have taken up). money well spent.

Firefox runs faster on my Mac, and it renders Web pages that Safari can't.

For me, Firefox wins out 70% of the time. Safari still beats it for RSS feeds, and for its privacy features. Firefox has far superior ad blocking, quick-searches, and a lot of other useful plugins. Both have earned a place on my Dock.

Yeah, I hate those really lame, plain buttons. Which is why I chose those themes. Add some fun and color to your life!

I have both Firefox and Safari on my Dock, too. Right next to each other, in fact.

Firefox's original default buttons are much better than Safari's, IMO. Still, I like the variation of themes. Which Safari doesn't even have.

I don't use any ad blocker (free or otherwise), because I don't see any ads, anyway. Explain that.

To be honest I don't really like Firefox. It isn't really built into the interface properly, and it feels sloppy and wrong.

I only use it when something in Safari doesn't work, which is pretty rare nowadays.
