I like it because it blocks popups and has tabbed browsing.

Tabbed browsing
No popups
Fully customizable with extensions and add-ons

In short, I can get all the information I want without having to weed through several open windows and advertisements.

EDIT: And since I got Windows XP, there is a new (albeit very small) difference I have noticed. I am a notorious multi-tasker. If I start loading something in a page, then switch to another, XP will "pop up" the other window when it is done loading. (I have noticed it for all XP applications, not just internet.) It interrupts what I am doing in the current window. I HATE THAT!!!

Tabbed browsing eliminates this. Anyone know if there is a way to turn that off?

And it's open source. Open. Source. That's right.

If ya don't understand tabbing browsing, it means that you can stack multiple sites onto ONE open window. So you can open up one mozilla window and have about 40+ under it.

But for some reason it's not liking myspace.com after the recent update, it freezes up exits and pops up the mozilla help window where you can email them 1) what you were doing 2) and complaint.

Well, I feel that if whatever internet security you're using let's popups through, you should look into getting a different one. Norton Internet Utilities is like 40-50 bucks, and even removes banner ads, like the ones at the top of the page here on the forum.
