I would have to recommend personas for Firefox. It is amazing

It gives you access to thousands of firefox skins like this one. I love it.
Another reason Firefox if better than ie

Chrome can do the same thing. I tried FF but once I tried Chrome I found that Chrome was much faster.

Firefox is faster because the way the script / "programming" is done. IE loads the whole page at once, while FF starts from the top of the page, loads smaller sections at a time, and works its ways down.

I prefer FF, and it is not as problematic as IE. Chrome has nice features as well. Google. Would you have expected anything less?

yeah but for me and alot of FF users the gadgets and add ons are the major selling point. adblock plus is a must have for me.

is that 45 and 15 seconds to open from the desktop? if so that sucks for you, my FF takes about 5.

Does Chrome have an IE tab or feature so you can access web pages that require IE to access them?

While I really like Safari 4 on the Mac, I still find I use FF more simply due to the add ons.

Cooliris is a killer add on. Not available on Chrome or Safari.

Tried Chrome about a year ago and it didn't do it for me.

I'm starting to hear about it again so maybe I'll give it another go on a Windows machine.

So any Microsoft page with Chrome wont work. Hmmm, I will stick with Firefox.

Any page that requires IE, or anytime I want to go to a web page of Microsofts. I usually do that a lot since I get their beta software and try it out.
