Is it free? Also if i downloaded it, would it be just a add-on to my Internet Exploerer?

Firefox is an internet browser.   I don't use internet explorer to surf the net , I use Firefox.  With Firefox you can download add ons for it.  Such as gmail checker, tool to download youtube videos and whatnot.   It is free  go to www.mozilla.org

are you SERIOUS??... THIS IS THE INTERWEBS!!!!

but firefox is an ALTERNATIVE to internet explorer... its faster, and better... and has no relation to it


anyway... i prefer opera

i like firefox...

+ adblock plus (removes all the ads on the sites)

+ noscript  -  removes all the javascript and other random ads that float on your screen

I second that OPERA is good too

Yeah, Opera is cool...

One thing I think is cool but also can be evil: ietab, the plugin for Firefox.  It's cool that you can set it up to run stuff that only works in IE to work in a tab that's actually IE in firefox, but it kind of gives crappy IE only web developers an excuse to not make their stuff right.

Firefox is a distro of Mozilla, a Internet Browser for Linux. It's only been recently that they ported it to Windows. BTW, When I'm using Windows I use Opera

[sonicwind]

what are the advantages of opera? do they have the same amount of add-ons as firefox?  because there are just so many great add-ons

[VoX]

Not really any, though I find it easier to browse and I like the interface better, but thats just my opinion. I use Firefox when I'm using Linux (Like right now)

i use regular adblock not the plus & its a great addon
but i hate noscript

chatzilla - which is a irc addon
password exporter - i format my pc every 3 months so this is very handy
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer - for the same reason as above

I too like Opera due to the 9 speed dials for the regularly used sites (such as this one).

I have however, found several drawbacks such as internet banking (among others) which will not function in Opera (though they do in Firefox). Additionally, I sometimes get terrible slowdown problems with .pdf files which have been opened in Opera which doesn't happen with other browsers. Setting up the flash add-ons took a while too (several days!), but this was Adobe's fault due to a misnamed file!

Apart from these few glitches, it's pretty good.

opera...
control+enter for instant login
speed dial 
faster than firefox (on my pc)

and, personally, i dont have compatibility issues

[kkan]

originally started using opera years ago due the the ability to quickly toggle images on and off was a blessing when I was on dial up

I like the make yer own custom search bars I have them for all my favorite webstores and search engines I just have them to hand on the main toolbar
