Who uses Mozilla or a related app?
I made the switch, and absolutely love it. I use Mozilla for browsing, and for email! If you don't use Mozilla, what do you use?

1. Mozilla convert here.
It's been great. The tabbed browsing feature is THE GREATEST.

And popup blocking - outstanding.

2. Mozilla kicks ass with extreme prejudice
Even in Linux, where there's more alternatives than you can shake a stick at, Mozilla comes out in front. Both browser and e-mail.

I tried Evolution (e-mail program) in my Linux PC at work. Good, but has some quirks. Mozilla Mail is just perfect.

4. Yup. Just a week now for me.
I heard that even Microsoft is recommending using something besides Internet Explorer, because they can't keep up with apps like Mozilla which off better protection, etc. It may take 2 years for MS to catch up.

7. Been using Mozilla for a couple years now, only just saw Firefox this week
Interesting - it's clearly set up to be a lot more like IE than Mozilla is. (Menus are more reflective of IE.) And here I had been thinking it was basically just the browser part stripped out of Mozilla, but I guess it got a facelift in the process!

11. Changed about a month or so ago to Mozilla Firefox.
Around the time of the most recent security hole for IE. I finally got tired of the hijackings, popups, etc.

It's slower on DU for me, but not slow enough to keep me from using it.
