Yeah, the scroll works, but it's choppier than a Jackie Chan movie. It's a start though.

The hawtness of firefox is worth a few niggling problems here or there. It's a shame these few problems happen on the one site where I spend a large portion of my time online.

Just make sure to turn smooth scrolling off. It does make a difference.

Redeem yourself! Following the path of IE will only destroy you! Let go of your hatred of open-source! Come back to the Light!

Seriously though, I LOVE FIREFOX. Especially the tabular browsing.

How fast is firefox in relation to IE? Because IE is rediculously faster than Netscape and Mozilla... Its simpler and much more efficient. My dad made me not use IE for a while due to security concerns. When I got it back, I almost cried I was so happy. Its so much better.

Netscape and Mozilla are both ginormous pains in the ass.

I dunno i see not that much extra awsomeness in Firefox, but i guess its superior if everyone says so. Im not much of a web junkie, so it doesnt really matter.

I will admit, the load time for the first launch of the software after a re-boot is a bit much, but the tab browsing, security and lack of pop-ups (as in none) is worth the wait in my opinion. Because IE is tied so closly to the registry security is a big problem, use firefox and you can say goodbye to spyware and adware for the most part.

These are the biggest reason why firefox is the only browser anyone should use. You can thank me later.
