I'm finally breaking down and switching to Firefox. I'm sick of the IE - the slow behemoth.
I need to find out other cool stuff Firefox can do. I know you can add extensions or something.
That is all.
** Update: How do I set Firefox as my default browser? For example, if I click a link from Outlook, it is still launching Internet Explorer.

I've been using Firefox for a long time, and I love it. What's great is you don't get as much pop up as you do with IE. Most spyware and viruses are geared to microsoft, so using firefox kind of helps you avoid funky stuff happening when you browse.
I love all the themes they have and there are some pretty neat add ons. I also love the tabs, which IE started using recently, however they don't hold a candle to the Firefox tabs. Firefox is much easier to use.

What does Flashblock do as compared to Adblock?

And I love bookmark synchronizer because it syncs the bookmarks from my son's computer so I can double-check to see what he's favoriting.

There's No Script too. It blocks all Java/Flash things and then you just allow those things you trust. (If you have NoScript and you go to You Tube, for example, the player won't show and the site will tell you you don't have Java, but you just have to click on the Noscript thing and mark You Tube as trustful. I hope it makes sense...)
