Popup Blocking Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
Tabbed Browsing
View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Find out more...
Privacy and Security
Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
Smarter Search
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there is a plethora of other search tools including Smart Keywords (type "dict <word>" in the Location bar), and the new Find bar (which finds text as you type without covering up anything).
Live Bookmarks
RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated. Find out more...
Hassle-Free Downloading
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
Fits Like a Glove
Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
S, M, L or XL—It's Your Choice
Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
Setup's a Snap
At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.
A Developer's Best Friend
Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional Document Inspector that gives detailed insight about your pages.
 
Yup. I was also fooled by the title.

For the record, you're preaching to the choir. We've had this topic a few times now, and rpm even releases stats for us FF users... :)
 
mmm firefox :)

Heheh. They told us it wasn't the software of choice where I work because it's "unstable" and not a "proper browser". We told 'em it was loads better than IE and they could sod off :)
 
It has its pros and cons, you can download lots of modules e.g. mouse gestures, which I can live without anymore, but it doesn't work on microsofts project server. seems only IE works there.

There's a great extension for opening pages in IE - for the odd few that have been developed by narrow-minded MS people... u know... "best viewed at 800x600 and only viewed with IE..." Just add a page to the "open this page in IE" list using the right mouse... At least I get choice... unlike other browsers... btw I havent had any spyware since installing Firefox and script blocker add-on...
Anyone tried "footiefox" extension - for the soccer fans...?
