:laugh: lol yup...except hopefully this means spreading the knowledge of FF to less computer savy people...hell I think some people might not even know there is such a thing as a browser outside of IE, and an OS outside of windows lol

 

[vi edit]

It's a good browser, but not polished enough for your average computer novice. The plug in manager and and site support definitely are far behind IE and could provide a major PITA for many non-adept users.

Granted it's certainly less vulnerable to spyware/viruses than IE, but the problem still remains that it's fundamentally less refined/supported.

IE will still be the default browser but its nice to have Firefox preinstalled.
