An awesome web browser from Mozilla. It was originally derived from Mozilla's (Seamonkey) code, but now has plenty of coding of its own. It supports W3C's standards and is quite secure. Best of all, it doesn't have support for Microsoft's security hole (read: gate for hackers to enter your computer) known as ActiveX, nor does it have most of the problems Internet Explorer has.
Mozilla will pay anyone $500 bucks for volunteering to fix security holes in its software, which is free (yes, as in speech, but also as in beer). That's pretty generous.

Going on the internet without firefox is like walking into an Al-Qaeda camp with nothing but american flag designed underpants.

Firefox is to Internet Explorer as flash drives are to floppy disks.
Stop using that sorry excuse for a "Web browser" and download firefox. It's free and it's open source.

An internet browser that is rising in usage and popularity and claims better security and standards compliance than the defacto standard, IE. It does tend to take up a lot of memory and like any software has some issues.
Wow Yen, I just tried the new Firefox browser and I don't get any more virii or spams from all my favorite porn sites.

Simply the best browser out there. It will make you wonder why you ever used IE.
Why are you still using that outdated piece of crap IE when you can use Firefox?

The browser everyone should use. Its faster than Google Chrome, great for privacy, and also doesn't devour your ram.
I downloaded Firefox on both my phone and my laptop.

Many people like to uninstall Internet Explorer if they plan on using Firefox for the rest of their lives, but this isn't possible because IE is integrated into Windows.
However, it is possible to *disable* access to IE using one of the following methods:
1. Select "Set Program Access and Defaults" from the Start menu. Uncheck each browser that you would like to disable access to.
2. From the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, select "Add/Remove Windows Components." Uncheck the checkbox next to IE.
I disabled access to Internet Explorer after I installed Firefox.
