5 stars
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.5
"Much, much, improved...and it was real good already"
Pros: I hadn't used Firefox in along time. I still had the original version and haven't used it in about a year. I use Opera and Avant and kind of forgot about Firefox when I reformatted about 10 months ago. This new version 4.5 really rocks! It is much more secure and faster than any ie browser, Avant included, and just as fast or faster than Opera. The download manager could use a little boost, but other than that, this is one fantastic browser and I recommend you try Firefox 1.5 and I give it 5 huge Stars and Two thumbs way up!

Hi, why does not Microsoft make a better browser? Can they not? Lack of resources! Bad programmers, not clever enough! Maybe they like that Firefox has a market share of about 25 percent? Maybe they are not aggressive enough to respond to new market conditions? I think that the answers to all these questions are obviously, NO! It might be that they like some adware as "tracking cookies"? Can they make money on these "tracking cookies"? I love liberty and free enterprise and in that system, no one has the right to violate peoples rights (as property rights as yours and mine computers are our private properties) against there will, and install adware into theirs machines. Microsoft is not installing adware by making a bad browser, but they might not be interested in making a good one. I must say also, I am not against Microsoft! They have revolutionized the market many times. The people have voted for them by bying their softwares! But I just do not think they want all adware to perish. I think that Microsoft has another definition on what is adware. I am just making a speculation! I like your reviews, goldengreeke! Good to "listen" to someone who knows more about softwares than I do! To you I say: 5 stars and two thumbs way up! Keep it on! Best Regards, Bjorn Lundahl, Gothenburg, Sweden

I gave this product 5 stars because it deserves it! As for having 5 times the amount of "helpful votes" than you, I imagine it is because I write 5 times the positive reviews that you do. Also my reviews are mostly in the top 50 downloads, where yours are mostly in the last 50 downloads of unpopular software products. No, I don't have 20 friends standing by to rate my reviews. I figure most the "helpful" votes come from the staff of the software publishers, as I generate a lot of downloads on their product. No, I am not going to run for President or start a new religion. Please stop stalking me.

THRILL SHILL STRIKES AGAIN!
ANOTHER RAVE REVIEW from goldengreek, as usual.
Your comments such as, "Terrific Software!" and "5 huge stars and two thumbs way up!", have become meaningless because you lavish them on so many applications.
Another thing I wonder about is how you manage to get so many positive user comments on your reviews.
I have also noticed that many of your reviews manage to garner 20 or more positive user comments within mere minutes of your posting them. Why you must have 20 or 30 people who are on standby at all times, hanging on your every word here, ready and willing to give you a positive rating.
You really should start your own religion or run for President or something.
