How do you like it?

On a whole is it that much better than IE?

I guess there wouldnt be a huge differnece from what i remember from IE but i enjoy some features of it such as ability have multiple tabs open in one window and the pop up blocker is nice.

Cons: Longer start-up time but page loading seems to be faster

Pros:
Multi-tap let you open just one window and multi-pages
All the extension/addon are great, plus themes
Built in download manager
Pop up blocker works great
Less chances of being attacked by virus and stuff

Oh and shortcuts

yeah i like it a whole lot (i have it). I switched over due to less virus targeting, but am enjoying the new features also. Been using trouble free for about a year now. Good luck

The tab feature kicks ***. I've used IE since i started using computers and i've just recently started to use firefox. I got tired of the slowness of IE a couple weeks ago and i barely use IE anymore.

It's a good idea to keep IE, because Firefox can't open certain sites that IE can, but that's rare. I use Firefox almost exclusively.

i got it and love it, have about 15 tabs open right now in one window, pretty sweet to look around at a much faster pace. same as everyone else is saying here. oh and i think the only time i have to use IE is for myspace if i go on. some of the flash or something doesn't work all the time with firefox.
