Firefox Should Have a Warning Label

[Amie]

And the label should say: "Warning: Highly Addictive!"

Anyone else in love with Firefox? I started using it a while back but became aware of all the extensions, add-ons, themes, etc. only recently. Wow! I'm utterly amazed. I had no idea that a browser could do all that. I've downloaded probably 10 different themes and extensions in a matter of days. With all the different themes, it's like exploring a whole new world each time you browse the 'Net.

Firefox developers, I hope you're reading this. Keep up the awesome work!

Even though I love Camino, I find myself using Firefox more and more. I love the extensions but I also use it because it's what I use on every other platform. Plus, it's very consistent, partly why it's not very Mac-ish unfortunately. But personally, I think its consistency is what wins me over.

I use Camino as well. But Firefox is definitely my prefered browser of choice. It's not very Mac-ish by default ... oh, but with the themes and extensions you can *make* it Mac-ish.

What themes are you using?

I love Firefox's flexibility, but it's poor scrolling performance (especially via the keyboard) and hackish interface keep me using Safari (with PithHelmet, of course).

For me, the performance isn't that bad to keep me away from it. Then again, I'm running it on an iMac G5. But even still I use it on and G3 iMac at work and it's not that bad. Of course, Firefox does tend to be a memory hog so the 256 MB of RAM on that G3 iMac tends to push its boundaries.

I have a rather old computer, and I have found that Safari is faster, so I generally stay away from firefox (except when Safari dosent work on a page - Firefox always works). It's great on windows or linux, though.

Actually, I've noticed it also be a memory hog in Windows and Linux. I'm hoping that 2.0 will remove the memory issues.

Well, in Windows, Firefox is a much better option than IE.. no matter what resources it uses. If you really want a fast browser, try lynx or elinks. I'm using lynx (on linux) right now, it's fast. Then again, it's text based, but for forums, you don't really need images..
