Have been using FF for about a year... I NEVER get any adware or spyware while using it. On the rare occasions I must use IE I have to delete 20 -30 adware and/or spyware applications when I'm done.

The tabbed browsing is a big benifit.

I have been using fire-fox for about 8 months now and I am very much satisfied with it. I have lesser spywares,lesser pop-ups & the tab browsing feature is a big help. You can tweak this browser for the optimum performance.

The Fire-Fox themes kind of enhances the whole web browsing experience also.

i have tried many web browsers but i have totally discarded them but firefox i have deployed to all my clients and so far enjoying results and less time spent trying to help users how to get around the web

I felt the same way until I realized that FireFox was getting the same amount of spyware as IE. The catch is that when you run IE you notice that your system slows down, that just happens to be when you realize that there is spyware. I have a good method, I have not had any problems in over one year. You have to create a user with no permissions then add Norton AV and enable that firewall instead of XP SP2 firewall,,, no problems.

I've been using Mozilla for years and most recently Firefox when it came out - I use Thunderbird as well - all in conjunction with an AV (AVG in this instance) and ZoneAlarm Pro - I was spoiled also for 6 years since I used Earthlink and they included a built-in pop-up blocker and also been using Spybot's Search & Destroy - every once in a while I dabble with Opera and a few others but that's just out of curiosity as I prefer the ease of use and uncluttered interface and tabs of Mozilla-based Browsers (with the exception of Netscape when Mozilla released it to AOL). I don't see the need nor use for IE nor Outlook.

I have been using Firefox since it was Phoenix and at version 0.4. I have never had any problem with Firefox and adware. It has only been when using IE that I have ever had any problems. One person mentioned getting adware on his machine after he installed Firefox and Macromedia's Flash Player. I don't see how this could have happened unless he already had one of the more robust copies of adware on his machine already or he was browsing a questionable site after installing Flash. I admit that Firefox is not the Holy Grail of the browser market, but it is better than the alternative. There is nothing that can replace caution and common sense.

I have been using Firefox for a while and not had a single problem. I have been deliberately using administrative rights when browsing (obviously being careful about what is on the machine) with AVG, Spybot S&amp and ZoneAlarm covering me. I have had no problems so far and as we speak this is the same machine I am using now.

The problem will be when Firefox becomes so popular as I expect it to, unethicals out there are going to attempt all the tricks they did with Explorer.

All anyone can hope for is that Firefox receives the same support that Explorer does and moves are made to help us out.

But I think the differenc ewill come in support. Forefox, being globally used by so many techs, will be fixed mush faster than MS.

It seems MS lets problems amalgamate until they require addressing and becoming cost effective enough to fix. FF on th eother hand has a global community of people working to make it the best browser, not just a select group of techs hired by Mozilla to debug proprietary code.
