    in love with a browser ? that's sick..

    and what does your GF or significant other think of this ?

    do you ask firefox the age old question..

    "was it as good for you as it was for me ?"

    I like it and I like opera too but for me IE still renders images faster.

    here.. do this test, compare and post the results..

    I like opera, but I'd be willing to give firefox a try.

    My test results came out 50/50. For pictures firefox came out quicker, but for text files it was IE.

    firefox is leaps ahead of ie. It's so much more convieniant too. esp the tabs. I too am in love with the tabs. Also, they are continuosly working on firefox, while ie seems like the bastard son of microsoft that everyone forgot about.

    I get KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE's running Firefox 0.8 on OS X, same with Mozilla 1.7. Looks like they broke something from 1.6.
