seach google for mozilla autoscroll. i don't remember the name or where i got it. but it was like the first or secound like google coughed up.
I installed mozilla and it was neat, but it did ALOT of things i didnt like, for example, i could use my mouse wheel click to scroll. Many times my computer would run slow and i'd find mozilla taking 100% of the CPU and there wasnt even a mozilla window open. I could go on and on, in the end, i went back to IE.
Kinda OT, but what about Opera? All I've heard about recently is Mozilla, Mozilla, and Mozilla. I like my Opera. I only use IE if something won't open right in Opera 7

AFAIK 1.4a was an alpha release and 1.4b is a beta, 1.3.1 is the latest 'stable' release.
I use Mozilla every day and I use my mouse wheel to scroll and it never takes 100% of my CPU for more than a second or two to render a page and that's on a relatively slow work PC.
Opera is closed source and has ads if you don't pay for it, why use that when Mozilla has more features and is totally free?
Firebird. Except in the case of my bank in which I am forced to use IE. Hate ever minute when I have to send off bills and am required to bring up that piece of S**t browser.
Firebird is fast, blocks pop ups, and it does not have 10,000 security expoits. Tabbed browsing is cool too. And, it does not try to be my OS also, it is just happy to be a web browser, nothing more!

I use Firebird because of the following reasons:
1) W3C compliance
2) Very fast!
3) Extremely customizable GUI and options
4) No more unrequested popups!
5) No more banners/ads
6) Security is much better, no more spyware/adware too
7) Tabbed browsing!
8) Almost nightly upgrades/bugfixes!
However I still have a backup of IE6 for the following:
1) Windowsupdate
2) Nasty sites that aren't W3C compliant and are coded to work only with IE browsers. There aren't too many of them left though.

A good point, Beller0ph1. Note my post, "I don't use either" ... I use Opera. I'm kind of on the edge of not being able to recommend it until they fix some rendering and performance bugs, though...but honestly, I don't mind paying for a good browser. It's still the fastest IMO. On dialup I absolutely need the CACHED tabbed browsing, it may be less of an issue in 2 months when I can finally get cable...but it's still one of the best ideas ever. Why should I have to let a page reload when I hit the back button?
OTOH, I have about EVERY browser installed on one machine so I can test pages I code. It's damned near impossible to get something to work in all 3 still
People have been asking for some kind of "advanced tab" for a while. The developers aren't to keen on the idea because they want to keep it clean and easy for the people that never change that kind of thing (read: the vast majority).
But to quench your thirst for options, try typing about:config in Firebird's address bar...

I still use IE over Mozilla because Yahoo Companion doesn't work with Mozilla (which is important to my browsing habits). For that matter, my Thinkpad's scroll button doesn't scroll Mozilla web pages... that's a pisser too. The only thing Mozilla has on IE is the popup-stopper... and as nice as that is, I can't live without the other stuff I mentioned.
I tried mozilla, it still had problems going to some sites and freezing up (forcing a ctrl alt delete to kill it)
I'm still mostly using IE but I do have a copy of Opera installed as well (very handy for some cases, but still not used to it.)

It freezes for me in windows 98 at work sometimes (expected), and I've seen it freeze on linux and probably NetBSD. You'll go click on something or whatever, and it'll just sit there and think and think and think.. Switch workspaces, come back, and the window doesn't redraw itself. It happens very very infrequently but it has happened to me on occasion. Definitely not a common occurence though, and likely not the issue McMadman is having. In McMadman's rigs, I see one machine runs windows 98 and the other dual boots 98 and 2000, so I'm guessing the problem is related to windows 98.
I looked at that yahoo companion. What does it offer that googlebar doesn't?
notification of yahoo mail? Get yahoo IM for that.
Bookmarks saved on the server? There are *plenty* of web sites that do that for free w/o ads and you don't have to install a program on each computer you touch.
The scroll button is something you'd probably have to search the mozillazine.org forums for.
So is anybody else suprised that Mozilla is winning this poll so convincingly? I think I remember a similar polls from a few months back that went strongly to IE?
Of course in the non-enthusiast community IE is likely way ahead because thay just use what came on the machine.
