For anyone that hasn't used it, I highly recommend it.

The lord said, "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth with Firefox"

I adore it - and I'm hating work because I have to use evil IE... *le sigh*

I wonder how many people need to use Firefox before the assholes start writing viruses and spyware to target it.

I'm forced to use IE at work also :(

Stupid proprietary software.

When I first heard about FireFox, I was like, "I don't know, doesn't sound any better than IE... Tabular browsing, who needs that??"

I don't think I've opened Internet Explorer since I downloaded FireFox, though... so I guess I need it.

There were already spyware and phishing explotits put out, but the programmers fixed it in a matter of days.

Less Pop up and less virus!
No doubt Firex is better than IE!

Being as I have no real computerphilic friends, I have no idea what firefox does. I realise it is a program in the vein of IE and Netscape, but apart from that....

So what is it, why is it good and why should I get it?

You should get it because it is safer and less-targeted than IE/Netscape.

So how much of a market share does Firefox have now?

I have Firefox and IE. Jolt runs a lot more quickly on Firefox.
