I am not sure if this is the right section but I think it is.

What do you users think of Firefox 4 or Firefox in general. Apparently it is the number one browser in the world. Some people disagree, some people think "FIREFOX FTW!!! WOOT!!!!!"

I have Firefox 4 and think it is fine. What browsers do you use, some use Google Chrome, some use IE. So, what do you think.

This is my ranking:

1. Fire fox 4
2. Google Chrome
3. Fire fox 3.6
...
last. IE

I think the new fire fox is very good, because of its simplicity, which is why Chrome is good too.

You cant get any simpler than a back/foward button, an address bar with 'add to faves' and 'relaod' built in and search box.

Plus tabs and 2 more tiny buttons.

Really, that is what makes it good.

Well, I just now downloaded the beta and it's going to take some getting used to. I'm used to having the reload and stop buttons together on the left side, and I guess they deemed it unnecessary to have them both functioning at one time.

Looks sleek though!

IE used to be good. Others just became better.

I'm a fan of Chrome to be honest. But some crap happened and I'm back to Firefox. Not sure what happened.

@Freak

Yeah that is kinda annoying. And IE used to be good and Netscape used to be good but that also went downhill.

There's a Firefox 4? o_0
*searches internet for Firefox 4*

Well I'm using 3.6 right now. And I think it's better then Google Chrome. The browsers that I have on my computer installed are Firefox, Chrome and IE.

Firefox is good for all the ad-ons and background customization. Also I'm more use to it's browser. I see no difference in the speed at all. There the same to me. I just prefer Firefox over them all because it's what I've been using the longest.

Once in a while I'll use Google Chrome if Firefox isn't working. I never use IE though. It's just there.
Hmm. I think I should download this beta to see what you guys are talking about.

With Google Chrome though it gives you more room on the screen and that's a good thing. But I'm not really use to it.

Firefox 4 is pretty good but the thing where you click bookmarks, the screen is really big. BTW, the unicorn armatar fits your image. =)

the unicorn armatar fits your image.

I have no idea what you mean by that.
Mind explaining?

And with Firefox 4 beta. I tried to download it but my antivirus told me it could contain potential viruses so I didn't install it.
I might as well wait until it's actually out.

Oh and another thing. I'm starting to become more and more conservative towards this new Firefox deal, meaning I want more and more of the things to stay the same. What's the deal with putting the URL over on the side? Are people going to look there more than on the bottom? It doesn't even tell you what part of the page it's loading anymore. And don't get me started about the NewTab/NewWindow right-click deal. I about opened 9 new windows just trying to get all my tabs for different places all situated. Maybe these are the things old people rant about when some new-fangled doo-hickey comes along.

I really did not like firefox, it took up too much ram (not that it matters to me... i have 1.5gb ram =P) and did horrible with slow internet, right away it would say could not connect to this website unlike chrome, which would try to connect then succeed after a bit on slow internet. I have 7 tabs opened up in google chrome and its only taking 50mb ram. Oh lookey, I just opened up firefox 3.6 and its taking 50mb! Chrome is also perfect if you have a slow internet. I tried downloading 4.1 firmware for my ipod so I can downgrade and on firefox it said 30 minutes remaining then I started the same download on chrome and it said 18 minutes remaining! Chrome is also easier to use and the interface is alot more cleaner, everything isn't disorganized like firefox. /rant

I don`t have Firefox, but I use it on some other computers, and I deem it just as good as Chrome. Here are my rankings:
1: Firefox and Google Chrome
2: Everything else except IE
3: IE

In my opinion, I think Google Chrome is the best one but I still haven't had the opportunity to use Firefox 4 so I don't know. Internet Explorer was good a time ago, today, it is a piece of junk next to other browsers. Here is my list:

1- Google Chrome
2- Firefox 3.6
3- Internet Explorer

Well, haven't tried ff 4.0 yet, but comparing 3.6 to chrome, I think: yes firefox has a lot of stuff, but I just want to browse the Internet! So better keeping it simple, and chrome is the simplest browser.
