"virii" ain't a word, and IE8 is fairly sandboxed and secure, believe it or not.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Opera anyone? This is the only browser for me aside from having to use 32-bit IE9 for Netflix
Yes, competition drives development.
I'm not sure you can say that Chrome is any more secure than FF unless you're worried about rogue extensions. I'd give it a maybe on efficiency; Chrome uses less memory than FF for me with one or two tabs open but once I start piling tabs in they're both pretty similar. FF is more stable for me than Chrome; I can't even remember the last time FF crashed on me.
Really? Why is that? They don't ship any ads to me, and with the 2-3 add-ons I'm using, some provided BY THEM, I don't get any ads except on the sites I want to support.Chrome is pretty overrated imo and using a browser made by an ad company seems a little stupid to me.

Opera is my main browser. No other browser has mouse gestures, which I think is fucking stupid, cause its damn natural and your hand doesn't cramp from surfing for hours. I find it nonsense that Chrome gets all this praise and Opera is a faster browser with better features. Firefox is bloated, comparatively to Opera, so I don't use it. If the need arises, IE9 is installed.
I think every browser has support for mouse gestures with extensions, I know IE 9 does with IE7Pro, they REALLY need to change that name.

Anyway... were there many sweet tears of a crushing defeat by FF folks in this thread??
The problem is that they are not built in and on by default. You have to get another version of the browser or get extentions or plugins, etc.
The other day I installed Opera on a new computer and it came out configured perfectly right away. I don't know how they did it. There must be some new cloud thing that saves my entire browser down to layout and skins.
Is it just me, or does FF4, in its menu-less form, lack a "check for updates" button?
I used to be able to go a week without restarting my browser in Firefox 3, but Firefox 4 is up to 2 GB every morning when I get into work. That's with a measly 4 tabs open. However, I blame extensions more than the browser itself.
Even with Firefox being the memory hog that it is, I prefer it over Chrome and IE9. I can't live without my extensions.
Yeah same here. About the only annoying thing about Firefox is it takes 20+ seconds to fire up on cold boot. After that it runs and loads fine.
It's not a 512MB machine, folks. It's 1GB as I noted earlier, look at the pic:
Note the first 10 apps or so, that's about ~500MB of RAM usage just for those alone, and he's got 78 processes going to make up the rest, and it's showing 54% Physical Memory in use... so it's a 1GB box, perhaps even 1.25GB maybe.
Funny, sure. Sad, most definitely.
Sad.
Suck it up and get with the times. This is a LIGHT workload on my dev box. (16GB ram)
typically during the day I will have 4+ devenv.exe's running (VS 2010) and ~4 javaw instances (admin tool for IBM Lobbardi) + Firefox + Crap; USING 7-9GB of ram.
