After seeing more and more people giving them good reviews, I am going to download it. Anything I should know?

I've always used IE even when Firefox first came out, but after v.0.9.3 came out, I've switched and haven't used IE for a thing since.

Firefox Rocks!

Anyone know how you can get FireFox to open links before the page has finished loading without having to ctrl+click?

Annoying.

ctrl-t opens a new browser in a tab in the current window so you don't have to have multiple windows open to surf multiple sites. ctrl-tab switches between those tabbed windows.

also download the google bar, google page rank plugin and the flash blocker if you feel so inclined.

Make sure you add a 'New Tab' button to your toolbar. Don't know why it doesn't do that by default. And if you make the toolbar use small icons it makes everything real nice and clean.

Firefox... there is nothing better and it's not even v1.0 yet!

way too many exploits in IE. i just reinstalled my os yesterday (took me 10 hrs to get my pc back to normal) because my browser was hijacked and then my computer as a whole.

this is, i never open attachements and i never download anything. i had virus protection and ad ware removal and i was behind a firewall. it was a nightmare.

the only thing i dont like about firefox is the favorites folder. i have to scroll rather then having the pane to the left but i will get over that.

I never use CTRL+T, just write the url you want in the current urlfield and press ALT+Enter instead of just Enter.
