I downloaded Firefox 2 or 3 days ago after discovering that, while using my computer, my boss installed some kind of spyware toolbar which was seriously ruining my internet experience and slowing down my computer majorly. I tried uninstalling it, to no avail, then I remembered this thread. So, thanks a bunch, Eric!

Anyways, I totally vouch for this browser's quality and superiority over IE. Many little features that are exactly what I found lacking in IE, like a superior "find" function. Also, it has a wicked "search engine" toolbar, where you can search ebay, Google, dictionary.com or a bunch of other sites, and you can even go the the mozilla developers site and add other engines. There are other cool features that I like, but I can't remember them right now.

Oh, and it was totally easy to switch over from IE, it automatically brought over my Favourites, saved passwords and even my History folder!
... and that's all I have to say about that.
