It's just superior software. Why drive the Beetle when you can drive the Porche at no extra cost?

And Mozilla, while not entirely immune, is by far the more secure platform for internet browsing.

I have IE at work, after using Mozilla at home, I can't bear surfing the web at work anymore. I'm begging the IT department to install Mozilla.

The Tab bar is the best feature by far, especially useful for RHP. But another feature that is way superior to IE is the print preview and scaling. On IE you just print and pray. In Mozilla you get exactly what you want.

And Eureka! No more irritating pop-up ads.

Already I have found the whole platform more stable with no pop-ups and no bundled upgrade patches req'd ( IE's on service pack # 28,946 no less ) It's worth it just for the tabed browsing alone and I now also run Mozilla Thunderbird for my mail.

Yep, I had the same drama trying to get a theme loaded. Also I had an annoying pop-up that preceded a program . Knowing of XP's intolerance of anything not MS let alone IE / OE I opted to un-instal Firefox and Thunderbird and loaded the Mozilla Suite proper ( ver. 1.7.1 ) and it now humms. It's a little involved but if anyone wants a walk thru I'd post it.

PS: thks Lazaraus for that link - it convinced me to change to the Suite instead of running the stand-alones.

I actually did the opposite I change from the Mozilla suite to the two stand alones. It works for me anyway.

Just the tabbed browsing makes the switch worthwhile. In addition, it includes a popup-stopper, which totally rocks (until you end up at work using IE, and get double-annoyed by popups cos you're not used to them).I use firefox (browser-only version), and it also seems a little faster at rendering pages.

Oh look, a whole second page where everyone's already said everything I had to say.

Oh well.

Me too!
