Have u used the beta yet? I must say its gonna kick so much more ass and I didnt think it was possible.

I've been a Firefox user since it was Firebird beta 0.6. Even then, it was better than today's MSIE.
The only problem I have with Firefox right now it its memory hole; occasionally, over time, my memory usage will shoot up higher than 400,000 K and will not drop unless I completely close the program. Even with this minor inconvenience, it is better than Internet Exploder.

I wish it would actually form itself like AOL, so I can get the rest of my family away from AOL. I want that shit off of my computers. But they want the ease of AOL, and the ability to IM with all of their friends. I LOVE Firefox myself, and loath the time I spend on AOL to get my e-mail sorted out faster than I can at aol.com.

Ahh back when it was called just Mozilla.

IN! have been a mozilla/FF user for 5 years and have been slowly weaning my family off IE. F3 hopefully will make that move complete.

apperently there is no current record holder for the most downloads in a 24 hr period so FF might be the first! lets see how high we can set the bar!

When I got it, it was Mozilla Firebird 0.6. It was on a disc that came with an issue of Maximum PC, a computer magazine I have been reading for years. It was given great reviews for being faster than MSIE and it had the ability to have tabbed content. I figured I would give it a try. Soon after, most of my friends and co-workers were using it.

At this point, Firefox 3 doesn't even need special new features or innovations; I just want the memory hole/leak fixed.

i think firefox screwed with my memory the other day. Digsby and firefox froze up and everything took a minute to sort itself out. after firefox and digsby crashed that is.

just downloaded the public release testing version for the lappy and so far so good. the memory leak appears to be fixed and does run a touch faster overall
