POLL: Who Here Uses Mozilla?

Opera because I like alot of the feutures. My favorite is that you can start it up and all your previously opened sites are still opened. This helps as I visit a few forums. This way I can start Opera nd just go into all the tabs, reload and check if there are new posts. There is an extension called "SessionSaver" that does hits for Firefox, but Opera is a bit faster then firefox too.
 
I'm using Maxthon. I use to like firefox, but it seems to just give me problems (even as a new install on a clean OS)

I use Maxthon 'cause no tabs is just not an option for me.
Haven't used Opera in a long time.
 
I've given opera a try and it's pretty smooth but ads bug the crap out of me and there's no way I'm gonna pay for a browser. I appreciate the flexibility and openness that you get with mozilla products, because they're open source, that I just don't think I can get with Opera. I voted firefox, btw.

There are ads EVERYWHERE in life. On every website, even AT. On the pizza box you just pulled a slice from. On TV, in the movie theatre, everywhere. There are probably ads in heaven and hell. Don't sacrafice using good software for it, I don't. Hell, I don't even notice it if you use the google text ads, it's so small. And the ads are for relevant sites taking from keywords in whatever you are viewing. I even have google text ads in my blog, sometimes a good link pops up.

I know ads are everywhere, that doesn't mean I can't try to avoid them. I have no reason to leave firefox for opera, although I am trying to at least evaluate it. All I'm saying is the ads are a deterent and enough of one to keep the balance in favour of mozilla/firefox.

I can accept if people don't disagree with me. I have no problem if people prefer firefox over opera, it's their choice. I just have a problem with people refusing to use it for one small ad. The software is unquestionably good.
 
To be fair (to opera) I should state that I hadn't yet figured out how to block ads in actual pages. I can live with the ad in the top right if it doesn't move too much. I'm learning a little about opera adblocking right now but it's still not as smooth as Adblock.
 
I use Mozilla... I have serious issues with the Firefox development process (example) andI justdon't like the Firefox user interface. Since I use Mozilla for email too, Firefox+Thunderbird would be more bloated.

I find them annoying to. That is why I paid for Opera 😉
 
Internet Explorer. Firefox is a very nice browser, but it's so much slower than IE for me that I can't stand it. The only time I'll use it is if I'm on the Home of the Underdogs, otherwise it's not worth it.

You could try Opera. It is faster then both IE and firefox. Firefox being the slowest of the bunch. I think the features and security that comes with firefox outweighs the slower speed though.
 
Camino on my Mac Mini (it's part of the Mozilla project), Firefox on my PCs

the scrolling on firefox for the macs is really pathetic, so I had to use something else
so far, my camino install on osx has been much more stable than any firefox installs on xp that I've used....
 
Galeon.

Yes and when given the chioce I'll take the one that has no ads. Opera is non-free software and IMO there's no reason to use non-free software when there's better free software available.

 
I use both firefox on laptop to save system resource/low memory and IE on my speedy desktop so I think I vote IE because it is faster webpage than firefox.
