5 stars
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2
"Second best browser on my list!"
Pros: Quite fast, secure, and a whole lot better than IE. It's very customizable, but it still has some negative signs in my list. It's really good. 4.7/5! Great free browser! It's so good that they can charge fees for this. It's second best to Opera, the best browser in the entire world! Get Firefox now!
Cons: Well, first; it doesn't have skins, just themes. Second, it may be fast; but not very fast. Third, it hangs sometimes. And fourth, it doesn't remember pages when it unexpectedly quits; like Opera. But after those, everything's running smoothly. It's a great browser, and those faults won't make it bad. Get Firefox!

Can I have the name of the extension that you are talking about? I now have the time to tweak Firefox that's why I will be downloading all the needed extensions. Thanks in advance!

I love Firefox for its extensions: you can add pretty much anything you want. There's even an extension which remembers the pages just like Opera.

All programs have some faults to it... Just because Computer_Genius gave 5 stars does not mean that it has nothing worng with the program. Also, it says it "hangs sometimes". Most of the time Firefox DOES NOT hang. 5 star means that the great features of the program exceeds much more than the cons of the program.

Hello?! Read the line! "It's a great browser, and those faults won't make it bad." That's what I said! Just because it hangs SOMETIMES doesn't mean it isn't great! It may just hang because of low system resources. And you object about my username! HAH! I suppose you could know better?! And besides, that's how I RATE IT. I like it the way it is! You care?! NAH! Why? `Cuz you should'nt.

Giving 5-star ratings to software that "hangs sometimes" when it is performing the functions for which it was supposedly designed (and tested????) makes no sense. At best, it should get a 3-star rating indicating that it can do what it claims it can do, but sometimes might not. I suspect that "computer_genius" grew up with PCs, not with the much more demanding environment of commercial mainframes that are required to run 24/7 without hanging "sometimes".

Some skins or themes skin every part of it including the scrollbar, toolbar, etc... and changes the whole look. Some others only change the buttons. For example: Noia Extreme and Noia Lite. Noia Extreme changes everything including scrollbar, toolbar, buttons, navigation bars, etc. Noia lite however, only changes the buttons and nothing else. It is totally dependent on what themes you've downloaded. Around half of the themes change the whole look and the other half don't.

Skins, change the whole interface. Toolbars, colors, buttons, background. And themes just change the buttons. Like, HELLO?! Opera is a zillion times better than Firefox. It's faster, and loads images more quickly. First you object about my opinion about PerfectDisk, now Firefox?! You better study your software, because you're reviews are surely INCORRECT.

What's the difference between skins and themes? It's the same thing. Both of them make the browser look different. In my opinion, firefox is better than Opera. Opera has a way too cluttered interface. Firefox is actually one of the fastest browsers that I've used and is faster than Opera is. Also, firefox is better at rendering pages than Opera.
