I am actually testing it, FF1.5 is really faster than the old 1.06, not any HDD access even when browsing dozen of pornsite in tabs. Ergonomy has been a little reworked, you can move the tabs now :)
Some drawbacks : most of extension aren't compatible yet (flashgot doesn't work :( ) and I have noticed a few display bugs when bowsing some website..

anyways the progress is here, Firefox is on the right way :thumbsup:
test it carefully :wave:

edit: flashgot plugin works now :)

I've tried Firefox a couple of times, but the lack of interactivity with Microsoft Office programs (notably, Outlook) is very frustrating and a pain in the ass. :crash: Plus, I use the Google toolbar a lot and the last time I tried Firefox there was no compatibility with that.

FamousBabes (former mod here) once turned me on to another browser like Firefox, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was called. It was really cool and much more useful than Firefox.

I'll stick with Internet Explorer. It's the best, IMHO. :2 cents: :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

Maybe Thunderbird? I'm using Firefox and love it. Hope the downThemall! extension will work in version 1.5.

I haven't used anything except Firefox for a couple of years now and can't imagine going back to IE. All the toolbars that I've tried work with it and I have had no problems at all. The occurence of pop-ups and virus threats has virtually stopped.

I have to agree with a lot of you- I'll just wait until the new version is ready. I didn't think I'd even like firefox, but once I started using it, it was pretty quickly my default Browser.
