|  Love FF
I got right on »www.mozilla.com last night around 6pm with no problem, and downloaded FF in a matter of seconds. Although later on in the evening 8 or 9pm EST or so, mozilla.com had trouble resolving. Not sure what that was about.
I think this is the first time in history - my history that is - where I downloaded, installed, and used a brand new release of a program on its first day. I waited over 8 months before I even installed IE7 and over a year for XP and Office 2007.
Only gripe I have at the moment is my theme I like doesn't work with 3 (yet), but I'm sure that will change or I'll find sometihng else.

So far, I really like it. It's a very fast page renderer now.
I have a hard time seeing why anyone would use IE except for the fact of familiarity.
This browser is fast. |

Seconded, Firefox 3 is top-notch. Faster loading, much lower memory usage, and ridiculously fast rendering. Congrats to all involved.

Some websites won't work with Firfox, like walmartbenefits.com. If I need to login to change my benefits or something work related I am forced to use IE. |

I never really had any problem with IE. I tried FF, Opera, Safari but none really wowed me, so I normally just use IE. Not that anyone cares

It allows you to open a tab in IE or a separate IE window if you want just by right clicking on a link. And you can also have it automatically open certain web sites you choose always open in an IE tab within Firefox.

48,340 K right now on FF3
28,764 on IE 6
from just viewing this page.
The thing that kept me from putting FF2 as my default browser was after an half hour of usage, the memory usage shot up quadrupole the amount causing the browser to be slow and unusable until you exit out of it and open it back up. That got very annoying real fast and kept me using IE6 since I did not have that problem with it.
Here's to hoping that is fixed in FF3 so I can make the complete switch! |

Mozilla made a conscious decision to NOT continue to work with web sites that don't meet web page design standards. IE7 still includes some workarounds for non-complying web code. When IE8 comes out, IE will also be more stringent about displaying non-compliant code correctly.
In the meantime the IE Tab addon works very well for me on those few sites with problems - most of which are Microsoft sites.

| oh, so Mozilla has taken on the task of single handedly enforcing web standards? give me a fucking break. that right there is the definition of elitist.
listen, trying to take the high road because your browser share is weak hasn't worked for 10 years. Netscape started that bullshit mantra a long time ago. Last time I looked, nothing has changed. |

Try not wanting to waste time writing workarounds for every broken page on the Internet. Make it the site author's problem. After all, if they're not writing to standards, you can't even know what they mean, so anything you do could very well be wrong.
With the market share Firefox has, any broken commercial sites will be fixed.
You obviously have no clue what Netscape was doing before they abandoned the project entirely. Netscape 4 was an utter piece of shit. It was only by a miracle that IE was an even worse piece of shit, and that changed with IE4, which sucked, but not that bad. Of course, Netscape 4 (but not 4.5) could be excused, for the standards were weak to nonexistent. What couldn't be excused was the bloated mess of spaghetti code.

You can use IE Tab add-on. It renders pages within FF using IE engine. If you come across a website that is still incompatible with Firefox, with one click you just reload it in IE-compatible view

I'm not worried about a program using 50MB or 100MB. It won't make any difference to me. |
