VodkaPundit took Firefox out for a spin and was impressed by some bits, unimpressed by others. His biggest hangup was "tabbed browsing" - windows are tabbed within Firebox instead of being differentiated on the task bar.
Hmm. You don't have to open new windows into tabs; you can open them into new windows with their own taskbar icons. I know, because that's the course I usually take.
The nice thing about tabs? If you're reading a post with several interesting links, you can open the links in tabs, keeping related pages together, then open other stuff in different windows.
The biggest problem I see with Firefox is that it does goofy things with iframes and sized graphics sometimes. Seems to go with its clunky functionality. Internet Explorer is certainly more sophisticated and does a sharper job with the coolest web pages. That said, I do 90% of my browsing with Firefox these days. If you're looking for a different browser, click the Firefox link. You might like it too.
