it works for me, so why should i change[/QUOTE]
"It works for me, so why would I change" is one reason why so many people still use IE, sadly.
This could be something to do with the fact that FireFox is open source; it's much easier for people writing exploits to look through the code and find possible weaknesses than it is for somebody to "brute force" exploits like must be done with Internet Explorer.
If you're really paranoid, install the script-blocker addon.

There's someone somewhere arguing that Charmin is better than Cottonelle.[/QUOTE]
Cottonelle has a puppy!!!!
I've had no problems with FireFox.
Opera has been a leader in browser security for many years now, although Chrome's sandboxing feature might have bumped them off of that spot. Either way, they're both incredibly secure browsers, much more secure than Firefox. Plus they're actually continuing to innovate.
Whoever rated me disagree is in denial. Just check the statistics and you'll see I'm right.
NooooooooooScriiiiiiiiiippppttttt! :banjo:
[QUOTE=TomoAlien;20056910]Well, malicious software writers are going to attack the most popular browser, right? So it doesn't suprise me that many of the malicious websites are made to attack Firefox users.[/QUOTE]
Your point would be valid if it wasn't for the fact that more people use IE than firefox.

Firefox is second most used browser, and i didn't say EVERY malicious website is designed to attack Firefox, i said MANY malicious websites are designed to attack Firefox.
Firefox is cool, but I prefer Chrome

Don't you mean Firefox is warm?
Sorry for that horrible pun. I promise I won't do it again.
I got like 40 fucking trojans from clicking on one link on Firefox. I'm switching to Chrome, looks like it's perfect according to results.
How come you reply to my messages almost instantly in anything tech related?
Yeah, Fire Fox has great addons, but I have been using Chrome for a while, and it's fast and stable enough.

Because what you access in a browser and decide to click definitely depends on what browser you are using! :downs:

My firefox crashed like a mother bitch.
I'll never betray firefox, NEVER!!!!
[QUOTE=GunsNRoses;20057026]I use Firefox but I'm starting to get annoyed with it.[/QUOTE]
I'm fucking sick with firefox but I'm to lazy to move 200 tabs, bookmarks, and try to migrate addons to Opera. I have both and Opera is 100% better because it doesn't crash EVERY. FIVE. FUCKING. MINUTES.
I'm a die-hard Firefox fanboy, so I'm not going to leave.
Internet talk.
Every few times I go to Isohunt with Firefox Avast blocks a virus.
:ohdear:
I used to love Firefox, however I have switched over to Google Chrome and safe to say it is my new favorite browser.
Opera is king.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;20056962]Another reason to go get Opera 10.50

There u go.

There's been released new versions of Opera 10.50 every week the last month.
I'm more inclined to think that it's because FF is popular.[/QUOTE]
Could you at least try not to sound like an opera fanboy? I grudgingly agree however, I've been using Opera and Chrome for months now, there's no reason for me to switch back to FF. I'd still rather use it over the shit that is IE and Safari, though.
Not surprised. As more and more people become FF users and it begins to overtake IE as the most used browser, what do you expect?
Firefox is great but it seems that if I have have it open for longer than 2 hours everything grinds to a halt.
