Who is using Firefox? Do you like it? Pros and Cons. I am looking at it, however what better place to get an honest opinion.
Thanks

Mike -
I use it on my PC and like it a lot. I find it very fast, very flexible and very reliable. I originally switched because of tabs - which IE didn't offer at that time. Now I've stayed because it always seems to be 2 steps ahead of IE. It also has a free add-on where it'll load a site in IE if the particular site won't deal with anything but MS.
On the Mac I usually run Safari but keep I Firefox around for when I want to stream XM radio (which has stopped working on Safari since I upgraded my OS).
I'd be more specific but I've been using FF for so long....

Firefox is a improvement over IE but I prefer Chrome

I've used it for years but after the latest "improvement" it's always crashing....even when it's minimized....
I went back to IE and still hate it so I'm stuck with FF until I try Chrome.

I really like Opera https://www.opera.com/browser/ Used it before Firefox, and returned to it FF became a resource hog.

My FF occasionally closes but it is very apologetic when it dies. I have used it for years and am generally very satisfied with it. I only use IE for those few sites that require it. I have not used any other browsers. I am also careful to uncheck Safari with any Apple updates. They are so persistent.

Firefox is good no doubt. But.... It ain't quick no matter what. I like parts of it but hate other parts of it.
Either way it will work for you, and if you are an add-on freak then you will love it!
To sum it up, I have it on my Windows 7 machine but I really can't tell the difference. I'm not going to write it off since it is free source for the time being and it's included in UBUNTU and the likes.

I used to use it a few years ago, but am set on the following for now.
Mac OS
1. Safari
2. Opera
XP
1. IE
Vista
1. IE
2. FireFox
I haven't used Chrome yet, simply because my work laptop (the only machine I use a dedicated Windows OS on) has to use IE for our administration software. I have two friends that use Chrome on a regular basis and love it.

I use firefox as it seems to work with all the different stuff I do. IE is buggy and slow. Last time I tried chrome it had flaky ajax and flash rendering so I couldn't use it. I haven't tried the new versions of it yet.
