Firefox 4.0 is nice, clean and simple with a bigger viewing space for webpages. Something is stopping me ever going back to IE. |
If you have not actually tried IE 9 how can you compare ?
IE 9 is not like its predecessors

Booting speed was measured by clicking the browser's icon and timing how long each took to fully load six websites--talkingpointsmemo.com, aol.com, youtube.com, nytimes.com, giantbomb.com and cnettv.cnet.com. Firefox took home the gold, opening in 17.8 seconds. IE9 was second with 21.86 seconds, and Chrome was third with a boot time of 26.22 seconds.
Rosenblatt then loaded the same six websites and examined each browser's memory usage. Again, Firefox 4 was the champ, utilizing the least amount of memory (148,020 kb) during the test. IE9 followed with 205,616 kb used. Chrome required the most memory (390,532 kb) to complete this task. |

I tried chrome but im so used to the layout of firefox i couldnt get my head round it and well there just wasnt any need to change. Also firefox looks great with the super easy to change slyles you can choose from now. Ive got the white tiger theme its realy relaxing and cool to look at and doesnt distract from what you veiwing. |

Yeah, the moddability of Firefox is excellent and easy to use. Took awhile to get used to the changes in Firefox 4, but I love how all the menus and icons are tucked away, it's so clean and fast, the fastest I've seen Firefox perform without tweaking files. |
