Version: Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14
Pros: Perhaps there isn't such thing as the best browser in the world, but Firefox comes close to being one of the best. I have to admit I used to think this browser was bad, but after giving it a try and learning how many features it had to offer, I wasn't hesistant to download it and give it a second chance. I'm glad I did because now I use Firefox as my default browser.
Here are some great things you can expect: Firefox loads pages pretty fast (a little bit faster than IE), it has wonderful and powerful plugins that usually lets you work with the browser's interface to give you more customizations or improvments, and extremely error free. I have used it for a while, and have not yet gotten a "not responding" or a crash.
You will enjoy the plugins and addons along with this browser, it's one of the greatest. It comes in many languages available and also with spellcheck and themes/skins.
Cons: A few problems I thought this browser has. One thing was the startup time took a lot longer than IE and Opera. Might only be me but I haven't seen any "safety" improvements from IE, nor have I seen the smaller memory usage..Another reason (doesn't affect my rating) was that the browser is a bit too quiet. They could add an option for sound when clicking or finished downlaods, that would be great.

"Great Browser. But has Add-On problems at times."
Pros: Fast, and simple to use.
Cons: When there is an Add-On problem going on with Mozilla, that will be a point where Firefox just can't start. This is it's weakest point. When the Add-Ons have problems, Firefox will freeze, and could never start. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed in the future.

"FANTASTIC WEB BROWSER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Pros: Every few months there comes along a new web browser promising you the world ! And i do try them IE7, Opera and the list goes on ha ha! But nothing comes close to Firefox for its speed and ease of use and you can make it run even faster if you follow the step by step advice of CNET. ( thanks so much). But i'm afraid i'm in no hurry to ditch my Firefox which is a 'god send' when i don't have high speed internet. But it makes it feel that way!
I'm sorry IE7 and Opera you have a long way to go before you reach the same league as Firefox and a long time before a "die hard" Firefox fan like me will change loyalties!.......sorry.
Cons: Why didn't i use Firefox years ago??!! ha ha!
