This is great. I hate Internet Explorer so much...

Kinroan · Nov 30, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

So...what does FF offer that IE doesnt?

Aracos79 · Nov 30, 2005, 04:39 AM // 04:39

Yes I'd like to know as well. I'm wondering if I should put Firefox on my new PC when it arrives next week.

I find it to be easier to use, cleaner (tabbed browsing means less clutter), and more user-friendly than IE. Anyways, you might find this site interesting:

If only FF had the gesturing system like Opera it would be godly. At the moment it's merely perfect.

Naprius · Nov 30, 2005, 09:38 AM // 09:38

why firefox and not opera?

jules · Nov 30, 2005, 09:40 AM // 09:40

From my experience with Opera it has a banner ad unless you pay for it and it's not as stable as firefox.

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5:

Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance.
Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
Improvements to popup blocking.
Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
Answers.com is added to the search engine list.
Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience.
Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not working in Firefox.
Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6.
Many security enhancements.

The Burning Edge has more detailed lists of new features and notable bug fixes.

Firefox also has extensions. You can add features to the browser that you really would like there are so many out there try http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/
Check out the link there on the menu for firefox extensions to get an idea of how much you can customise the browser to make browsing easier and more useful. And there's no programming required you just download the extension and restart the browser for it to work.

Can you do that in Internet Explorer?

It co-exists just fine with Internet Explorer and it gives you the option of being the default browser or not.
