I agree, i use Fire Fox all the time, It has great security features, not to mention the themes, and awesome extensions for it.

Hmmm, I'm writing this from my newly aquired Firefox browser right now, and I gotta say, It's a little slow and it renders stuff kinda weird and has trouble displaying embeded video. I dunno, I'll try it a bit more.

Same problem I had with it. I even enabled pipelining, and still didn't serve me as well as good ol' Maxthon. I think FireFox is just so popular among us tech geeks because every other tech geek uses it. Like the guy that says "Just download it and give it a try" as the answer to a question on why it is better, people don't know why they like it better, they just prefer it. Kinda like the whole ATI vs. Nvidia thing. I personally have tried FireFox multiple times and was not pleased. And I tell you that my Maxthon is just as secure as FireFox. After 2 months without scanning, scans from both Adaware and Microsoft turned up NO spyware/adware results.

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the address bar (no quotation marks).
Locate the following options, double click each one and change to the values listed below:
network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6
network.http.pipelining: true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32
network.http.proxy.pipelining: true
thanks to M Cat at the Zen PC (http://zenpc.blogspot.com) for that.

Lets just say that IE is slightly faster; wouldnt you agree that security is more important? That should be enough.

Well, with Maxthon, i get the faster IE kernel, plus the security of Firefox. Its like the best of both worlds!
