Why? Who chose Mozilla Firefox over Chrome? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give Mozilla credit for being at the forefront of the open source community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox is slow for the same reason Explorer is slow; It is doing a bunch of operations in the background to keep you from getting hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've grown accustomed to doing many things that browsers typically don't do at all - much less do it fast. Even with all of my add-ons, the speed is so fast that pages load instantly unless there's a server problem somewhere. From everything I've read, no other browser is as safe to use as Firefox - not even close. I have compared Firefox to Internet Explorer and there is no race in speed, security, or capabilities. I know very little about Chrome except that I would have to sacrifice 80% of my functions to use it. I thought Firefox 3 was great, but Firefox 4 blows the doors off of everything on the market in my opinion - in speed, functions, and security. I'm spoiled and no longer interested in just speed without additional functions and security. You get it all with Firefox 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might give Chrome one more shot cause I like the look of the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older systems have a hard time handling some of the add-ons, where new systems don't have that problem. I also have Firefox 4 and have no issue with it, except getting use to the new layout. Go with what you like, Neb. Each browser has it's tweaks and quirks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
