Firefox is all that I use. Once you get accustomed to it, you see that it really is "speedier" than IE. I also get fewer web "errors" when using Firefox. There are two or three websites that literally just don't work with IE, but which work fine with Firefox.

Good god, a max of over 615 tabs open? How can anyone work with that many tabs open?

600 tabs? And I thought I had a lot of tabs open. I'm probably in the 100-120 at my worst.

I just switched back in Ubuntu. I switched to Chrome on my Laptop and my MiniMac then started noticing advertisements targeting my local area. This tells me Chrome was pinpointing my location (IP Address) then running local advertisements in my browser. Too much snooping for me so I dumped Chrome and went back to Firefox and Safari.

If that person is like me he has more than one browser window. With a wide screen monitor I can comfortably fit 30 tabs. Four windows like that and you have 100+.

I could see it happening in some research jobs, especially with multiple monitors and windows open.

Just bought a new Laptop with Windows7 installed, I'm in Europe and I was expecting a Ballot Screen for the Browser, but no, it had IE8 already installed. Naughty naughty MS, anyway I soon downloaded Firefox and SRWare Iron, and then removed the IE8 links from the Desktop and menu. I couldn't cope without a decent Adblocker.

If more users were browser-savvy, Firefox would have IE's market share.

Firefox should work some deal with the < 1000 researches stationed in Antarctica. They could get 100% of that continent.

Same here. Some websites still don't like Chrome. Some don't display properly on Firefox but do on IE8.

I've used firefox for a long time now and think its great. With the addons function it gives users complete control of which components of a webpage you want to display. I allways run AdBlock Plus and scriptblocker only allowing scripts ect to run on webpages I trust. Makes my web experience alot faster and stops most of the annoying pointless advertising and scripts infringing on my privacy. The only niggle I have with firefox is, why it seems to utilise so much memory! 120mb is alot compared to most other web browsers.

i just switched from firefox to chrome when i upgraded to win 7 x64. chrome just seems to run faster on my system then firefox did. i have not used ie since 2004

Opera...

I'm just wandering, what do you people do that you need more then 10 tabs open? For me mostly 2 is for searches and the rest news articles.

my pc would freeze at 10 tabs

i got 100 tabs open permanently. I'm leaving open everything interesting which does not deserve a bookmark ( would be too much of a hassle) of course this consumes memory.... MUCH memory. To help me have an overview I use tab sidebar. It works for me.

Zotero is the main reason I NEED firefox. However, I could easily use another browser for browsing but I don't because firefox is my favourite.
