I really like this "tools-clear private data" thing, one click and my comp is clean :p Really useful since my mom often checks email on that thing and some friends use my comp too on ocassions.

No ads or popups, tabs for sure. If I am going to use a computer for more than half an hour that is not mine I install FF because I cannot go that long on the internet without tabs.

Tabs, searchbar, bookmark manager beats the sh!t out of IE's favorites, and extensions like DownThemAll.

I would would probably switch from Opera to FF if it could match Opera's silky smooth scrolling. (Yes I enabled Smooth Scrolling in FF, but to no avail.)

One other thing I highly dislike is that when you middle click to scroll, In Opera the mouse automatically goes to the middle, where-as in FF, it stays where your mouse was and sometimes it's not effecient when you want to scroll up/down fast. I would have to reposition my mouse to do so.

get more ram ;) I got 1 gig on my desktop, and 1.25 on my laptop.

to me its tabs....I have three windows, each on a different topic and anywhere from 15-30 tabs in each. Its wonderful for research in a way that IE just sucks for.

Although....Epiphany for some reason feels much faster than FF in terms of UI

Ctrl + Shift + Del is the keyboard shortcut for that. I reach for it after pr0n.

Searching a page for text is also nice.

I like the extensions aspect of Firefox but using it bloats my laptop a ton so I need to use IE7, which is fine because I actually like it, not one popup yet.
