Recent problems 3 stars by madmik Feb 13, 2012 (Read all my 27 reviews)
Prior to versions 9 and 10,Firefox was a moderately fast, relatively trouble free browser packed with features which made it a winner. Regrettably, something seems to have gone wrong with the last two versions,which seem wracked with mysterious issues,causing freezing and shutdowns on a frequent basis.I doubt these are unique to my particular configuration,as these problems didn't occur prior to version 9. One recent change in versions 9 and 10.1, seems the allowing of over riding compatibility with extensions ,which previously may have been considered incompatible. Whatever the cause, these issues are severe enough for me to consider a browser change. These problems have been reported. Regrettably,owing to the present difficulties,it is hard to recommend the current versions. Version 8 was good if not particularly fast. showShow review details
Oh how the mighty have fallen! 1 stars by wyzwyk1 Oct 04, 2011 (Read all my 5 reviews)
There was a time, and not that long ago, when I would have recommended Firefox without hesitation. Not anymore. Since the release of Firefox 4 and the implementation of Mozilla's 3 month development6 week release schedule Firefox has gone into the toilet. For a handful of new features, a little more speed, and the faster release schedule the Mozilla developers have sacrificed stability and many extension addons. BAD TRADEOFF!!!!! Firefox now has a horrible problem with stability and crashes incessantly. The instability problem showed its ugly face in version 4 and hasn't been rectified in 5,6, or 7. Mozilla seems to be clueless on an answer to it. Third party extension developers are having great difficulty keeping their extensions updated with a new browser release every 6 weeks. With every new version I loose a few more extensions because they aren't compatible. Isn't it clear to those at Mozilla that the extension addons are the "beef" in their sandwich? Without them the browser is nothing. Mozilla is so concerned with a marketing philosophy of "keeping up" with Google Chrome that they have trashed some of the best features and qualities of Firefox. Worse, I don't get the feeling they have the answers or desire to do what's needed to solve the problems. I am very disappointed that this once great browser is now moving down the road toward mediocrity. showShow review details
Maybe I recommend it, not sure anymore 2 stars by gimpguy Sep 30, 2011 (Read all my 654 reviews)
I have used the great Firefox since it was downloadable, however, these constant new versions have taken my good opinion and use of Firefox and destroyed it. I am completely and utterly tired of just getting my add-ons, download manager, and everything else set just to see yet another change and have to wait for everything else to catch up and work again. What kind of stupid, asinine,race to get so many versions out is this anyway? Don't tell me they can't simply patch it for a while (at least to give us breathing room). Ridiculous. Mozilla says: "Mozilla has a rich set of resources that make it easier for Web developers to build compelling Firefox Add-ons using HTML, JavaScript and CSS." Maybe true, but when we can't... oh... USE THEM.. a lot of beefin' good it does!! So the "Rapid Release Development Cycle" has done nothing more for me than give me a migraine. Oh you get the cheerleaders who won't say a bad word on Firefox, I however, am not one of them. This is nothing more than a browser race war with some browser improvements. I praised it here prior but now, I am oh... wait... headache coming back.... I do have a cure however... take two aspirin, followed by a tall drink of PALE MOON browser, be happy in the morning. showShow review details

Best browser for me! 5 stars by mmgonzo Jul 13, 2011
I have used Firefox since version 1.5 and have never looked back. For me, Firefox is much better, easier to use, and safer than IE. I have tried Chrome, Opera, & others, but I found Firefox to be the best. When Firefox 4.0 became available I downloaded, installed, and just loved it. Now using Firefox 5.0 and still find Firefox to be the best; hand down. Best for ease of use, security, safety, and a world of great add-ons. No other browser comes close!!! I use on my Linux Mint 9 pc, WinXp, & Win7. If I did not have to use IE or MS Windows at all, I wouldn't. As for me I'd give Firefox 10 Stars if I could! showShow review details
I will stick with 3.5 1 stars by whoever Jun 10, 2011
Snapfiles review clearly states that it is for 3.5 but I tried 4 anyway and took it straight back off. It is absolute pants and worse than any other browser I have ever tried. I will stick with 3.5 and once I get to the stage where I maybe can't use 3.5 I will look elsewhere. Sorry but this a one giant leap backward and an absolute mess. You won't bother with it if you have any sense. showShow review details
A competitive browser with excellent add-ons 5 stars by iwillneverstop Apr 24, 2011 (Read all my 12 reviews)
Maybe, Firefox itself isn't as good as Internet Explorer but with a huge set of excellent add-ons, Firefox becomes one of the leading internet browsers. Supporting Windows (including XP), Linux and Mac OS is one of the advantages of Firefox. You're looking for a browser that is flexible but still good, Firefox is your destination. showShow review details
Beware the update 4 stars by raptozilla Mar 23, 2011 (Read all my 3 reviews)
I have been using Firefox since 0.4 came out; on this computer, I have several versions since about 1.5. When I did the update to 4.0 through the Firefox interface and tried to start the browser it crashed most of the time. If it didn't crash upon starting, it crashed every time I tried to access the options popup. I did a complete uninstall of Firefox using Revo Uninstaller advanced mode and then installed 4.0; this corrected the problem. Hardly any of my extensions or themes were compatible with 4.0, so I have to do a complete reworking of that aspect of 4.0 from scratch anyway. If you're going to use 4.0 and have installed previous versions of the program, you might want to do the complete uninstall before installing 4.0. Upload your bookmarks to Xmarks and export your speed dial settings so you can easily retrieve them after installing 4.0; if you do these things, it's most of the battle in getting your Firefox back to the way you like it. showShow review details

I don`t get it 2 stars by wildgoosespeeder Jan 01, 2010 (Read all my 52 reviews)
I read pcs800's review and couldn't agree more. I just don't get it. You need plug-ins to be able to compare it to what Internet Explorer can do on it's own. I can program in JavaScript and one JavaScript I made runs in Internet Explorer as intended. Run it in Firefox and we get a different result! The JavaScript was adding two numbers but Firefox thought I was trying to piece together two string values. 1+1=11? I don't think so. I had to fix it using an algebraic way. 1-(-1)=2. That fixed it. Cool people use Firefox. Cool people follow fads and don't question them. I'm not cool. I'm questioning Firefox. Why do people think it is so much better than Internet Explorer? So what if you can use different skins? Looks don't determine how good a program is. It's the functionality. I know some looks are good but there needs to be balance. People claim Firefox loads faster than Internet Explorer. It doesn't for my computer. showShow review details

Bookmark manager too difficult to use 1 stars by 7654321 Nov 15, 2008 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Having used Firefox 1.07 through 1.5, I recommended Firefox to everyone. Now that I tried 3.04 (2000 SP4), I no longer recommend Firefox, because I don't have a clue how to use the Bookmark Manager! In versions 1.07 through 1.5, I learned everything I need to know about Bookmark Manager in 30-40 seconds. After using version 3.04 for about a month, I have no clue how to perform basic tasks in Bookmark Manager. I Bookmarked a site, but cannot find it under Bookmark Manager. I created a folder, but when I click on 'Bookmark This Page,' I cannot put it in the Folder I created! I have no clue how to 'Move' a bookmark to somewhere else, such as another Folder. I looked in the Help File (which should NEVER be needed for tasks this basic), and there is NOTHING. Bottom Line: IE6 is 1,000,000 times better then Firefox 3.04, because there is no longer a reasonably easy way to control or work with Bookmarks. I would still recommend Firefox 1.5, but not version 3.04. showShow review details

This is the best browser as of june, 2008! 5 stars by garyganu Jun 23, 2008 (Read all my 4 reviews)
I absolutely LOVE Firefox 3.0! I have not submitted a review for any software on this site until now, though I've used the site for quite some time. Once I downloaded 3.0, I immediately noticed an increase in speed when browsing. I also love the "Awesome Bar" feature, where you type in keywords in the address bar and as you type, you get sites which you have visited recently, are in your Bookmarks, or have been tagged with the word(s) that you are typing. With the previous version of Firefox, it seemed that when I first went online, I'd have a minute or two of very slow page loading, then it would go away. I no longer have this problem on 3.0... The interface is very clean and doesn't take up too much space. It's a winner! showShow review details

Firefox is a browser to have. 4 stars by moparmac Jul 02, 2007 (Read all my 11 reviews)
Firefox is another alternative to IE. I haven't found it to be as fast as Opera. But it's not slow either. There is a speed tweak that sometimes improves surfing speed. There are some excellent themes and add-ons for this open-source browser.It has multi-tabbing and is customisable. Firefox is definitely better than Internet Explorer or any of the IE knock-offs. Security is updated when needed. Firefox is a dependable browser and I recommend it. showShow review details

Not the fastest nor the more reliable 4 stars by ArturN Jan 11, 2007 (Read all my 19 reviews)
Used Firefox for an year - versions 1.5 and 2.0 - and at the end, I ended with Opera. The most interesting thing abt Firefox, are the addons that one can integrate with the browser but had many crashes with version 2.0. Opera is faster, does not eat as much memory as Firefox does and at the end is more user friendly than Firefox. However, Firefox is a good alternative to IE...but not for Opera. showShow review details
Good 2nd choice for a browser 3 stars by dlbean1 Jan 01, 2007 (Read all my 4 reviews)
This application leaves too many cookies in its own directory structure. They usually can be found with Spybot, but just a hassle running that all the time. Like the basic feature set and extensions, just another hassle searching for them all (like Cookie Safe, Ad Blocker, etc.) I would recommend that a average user update Microsoft IE to version 7, then download AVANT browser. AVANT has the built in features from most of Firefox extensions. Cookies can be more easily managed (deleted). AVANT Speed renders approximately 1.5 times faster than the FOX. Recommend Fox 2.0.1 over IE7 (barely), but quite a bit behind AVANT 11.0 build 43 . showShow review details

Stop using IE - get Firefox! 5 stars by Anomyous Aug 12, 2006 (Read all my 6 reviews)
After hearing about the many security holes in IE that Microsoft hasn't fixed, I decided to look for a new browser and found Firefox. And boy, was that worth the download! Firefox is more secure, skinnable, has many more features than IE and best of all, it's free. Each browser has it's ups and downs, and one of the downs of Firefox is that some Microsoft sites require you to use Internet Explorer 6 to access their page for some reason. Firefox has a popup blocker that is way better than the one for IE included in Service Pack 2, so I don't need to install any additional software, saving me computer space. Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. Stop Using IE - Get Firefox! showShow review details

Sorry, I am still on dialup (still the majority) believe it or not, and anyway I noticed a big speed difference between the 1.5 vs and the 1.5.01! Believe me, every step that firefox makes to make it self more stable and impervious to attacks takes resources and slows it down. I am thinking of reverting or rolling back to vs 1.0.7. Thats no joke. It was fine b4. I dont know what the hell they r doing now, but it aint working. Too much protection is just overkill. Stick with the version you got now and be HAPPY! Fast and stable. Not too mention how each version is stated to be quicker, but I beg to differ and would argue it with the developers themselves! They wouldn't go there. So I just went back to vs 1.5 and guess what? My surfing is quicker again! Love it. Go with the newest version if you want. goodluck showShow review details

Mozilla's Firefox features make for a smooth internet experience. The browser is simple and blocks an extremely high ratio of all pop-ups. If a vulnerability is found it is patched quite quickly. Firefox is the "Allstate-Your in good hands" of browsers and it makes a dial-up connection alot more pleasant. Extensions and themes can be applied for broadening the features and looks of Firefox. No Spyware is currently aimed at Firefox, but I feel confident going into the "malware" future with Firefox. Mozilla's Firefox browser makes the internet fun again. showShow review details

Better every time 5 stars by estople Nov 22, 2005 (Read all my 8 reviews)
We switched from Netscape 7.1 to Firefox 1.0.4 and haven't looked back. Features aren't as hot, but as its standards compliant (and so are we), we love it. Better support for CSS than most any other, and some terrific little features that you do have to go looking for. Easy to use even for the first timer, the "Clear Private Data" and "Options..." tools are worth the download, but the advanced tab browsing is killer! Yep, its slow to load and its still got some plug-in issues (Acrobat Reader makes it skip a beat now and then), but its still better than IE7 and should get better as 1.5 and 2.0 are released. Highly recommended for anybody. showShow review details
It works. it's just that simple. 5 stars by LinkTiger Oct 17, 2005
Very simply, Firefox just works. Despite Internet Explorer users saying that their browser works better with some pages and Opera users saying that their browser has more features, the truth is, Firefox helps the user along only when they need it (importing settings and bookmarks, for example), but otherwise just getting out of the way and letting the user do what he/she wants or needs.

Firefox is, by far, the best browser out there. With its tabbed browsing, powerful user-created extensions and strong support community, Firefox has taken the web by storm for the last two years and is only gaining momentum. My favorite extensions include Tab Mix Plus, Session Saver, and Mouse Gestures. The fact that you're reading this review says that you're looking for an alternative browser, so make the switch today. What do you have to lose? It's free! showShow review details
Definitely the best browser 5 stars by ElykSamoht Sep 25, 2005
Firefox is the best browser by far. Open source, and free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it. It is much more secure than IE. I haven't gotten a single spyware since switching, except for the one time that I was forced to use IE for a site. You could call that a coincidence, but I don't think it is. Security aside, it's loaded with features, including tabbed browsing, which makes reading multiple webpages much easier. If there's a feature it doesn't have, I can usually find an extension to add it. I can change the look at any time simply by selecting a different theme. It's faster than IE by default, and advanced users can tweak it even more to optimize it for their computer. showShow review details

Firefox security is just as bad. 3 stars by SubwayGOP Aug 23, 2005
Firefox claims to be more secure than IE. I beg to differ. As more and more people use Firefox it will get attacked just as much as IE, and many patches will soon follow, as they already have. The popup blocker is very weak. At least with IE you can add a good 3rd party popup blocking program such as POPUPCOP! On the plus side the tab browsing is KOOL! Ill stick with IE. showShow review details

Not a lightning fast browser 3 stars by Semantic Jul 29, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I like this browser. For a full featured speedy browser I find the IE based Cayman browser to do circles around Firefox. If your stuck on a dial-up connection for some reason or other you will find that IE and most any IE based browser is faster than this excluding Maxthon which in my tests was just as slow loading graphics. Although I'd give Maxthon a higher rating than Firefox it is very well featured and not buggy in some aspects like Firefox is. Firefox extensions are very nice but the themes I think are lame. I would still recommend this to use but is not my browser of choice. I like it better than Opra but then again thats not saying much. If you have Firefox and are a bit disappointed then give the new Cayman browser a try. I think you will switch. Cayman is very full featured and the fastest browser I have found yet. Security wise I find that if your machine is fully patched it is as secure as it's going to get with any browser. showShow review details

When in rome... 3 stars by JasonK Jul 25, 2005
Face it, the web is a Microsoft dominated part of computer technology, IE is more compatible and stable, may not be safer though, thats why I recommend Maxthon, uses the IE Engine, but doesn't contain all the IE flaws, so you have a safe, compatible, useful and stable browser that has many more features , the same ability to download plugins, and you don't have to import your bookmarks and other things. So in short, Maxthon > Firefox; however, I have heard good things about opera, so I would recommend that above Firefox as well. Maxthon (and maybe opera) > (certain other browsers including avant and slimbrowser) Firefox > (some other certain browsers that are even less popular like Mozilla) > IE > Netscape (why would someone use Netscape anyways?) showShow review details
Okay but needs work 4 stars by duddykravitz Jul 22, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)
This is an OK browser for those that dislike IE. I find that the 'bookmarks' menu is buggy and needs work to make it less frustrating to use. showShow review details
Great browser 5 stars by TheAdmaninoz Jul 14, 2005
Firefox is super secure and easy to use. If you are sick of acquiring Trojans just from LOOKING at certain web pages then make the switch to Firefox. Not only is it extremely secure but feature wise it blows IE away. (Tabbed browsing, RSS news feeds, password manager etc) You get the ease of use of IE with great additional features, plus the security of say, Opera, WITHOUT the steep learning curve! Highly recommended! showShow review details
Why use anything else? 5 stars by MichaelMaltenfort Jul 12, 2005 (Read all my 3 reviews)
Mozilla Firefox is a browser that is extremely flexible and which has tons of features. The "tabbed browsing" is wonderful (though other browsers have that too). What really sets Firefox apart is the ability to customize it by downloading extensions. These extensions (mostly free) can be found at Mozilla's Web site and can add various features. I particularly like the extensions CustomizeGoogle (to improve ease of Google searches) and Forecastfox (weather forcasts appear in my browser window), but there are others that may be more useful, depending on one's preferences. Firefox is just terrific! And, importantly to some of us, it's one way to take a stand against Microsoft taking over the Web, since it's a browser which is not produced by them. showShow review details
Nice browser, but i uninstalled it 4 stars by Nirrad Jun 19, 2005 (Read all my 4 reviews)
Nice easy to use interface. Many like the fact that there is a ton of extensions out there. I for one, dont. I prefer to have a browser with all the features I want already included. Dont want to have to add extensions to it. I do see why people like this though. The possibilities are endless with it. I guess Im different ;). I have had nothing but problems with it so I uninstalled it. Ill continue to use my favorite browser, Opera. showShow review details
Missing a category 4 stars by ZachFSW Jun 16, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I could rate this excellent on all four categories you have - and I still would never recommend its use to anyone. Does it work? Not in a test tube environment of pages built to an unofficial standards approval. Does it work in the real world, with real webpages, some of them many years old that are not going to ever be updated again, but still have very valuable information on them - Does it work for those pages? Not very often. Does it follow the standards as set by use? No. Does it go out of its way to be incompatible with other existing browsers? Yes. showShow review details
