Great - Extensions like Adblock, flashblock, dictionary tooltip, firegestures make Firefox fit into my way of browsing. (And there's always IETab when your company's internal websites don't support modern browsers.)

I love the search bar, search keywords, and a lot of the little niceties that make going back to Internet Explorer unbearable.

Great - Do all what i want from a web browser, works like i want it work.
~ anonymous on Jan 27, 2010

Great - No other web browser makes web development as easy as Firefox with the many awesome add-ons that are easily installed.
~ Duke Spukem on Jan 2, 2010

Great - It's fast and has lots of features and plugins
~ anonymous on Sep 22, 2009

Just OK - It's slow and bloated.
~ anonymous on Sep 22, 2009

Great -
~ anonymous on Sep 21, 2009

Great - Only major browser to run on Linux, Windows and Mac. Useful plugins for blocking ads (Adblock Plus), debugging (Firebug), downloading Youtube videos (DownloadHelper). Still loses in speed to Chrome though.
~ anonymous on Sep 21, 2009

Great - Stable, fast, relatively secure, The best choice for browsers at all.
~ anonymous on Sep 21, 2009

Just OK - Takes longer to load and gets slower with every version on AJAX apps. Undisclosed checking for new versions in background results is in poor form. Try IE, Chrome or even Safari for smaller footprints and more responsive interface.
~ anonymous on Sep 21, 2009

Great - It's amazing. Stable and elegant, it is everything you could want in a browser for any platform.
~ guitarMan666 on Sep 20, 2009

Great - adblock+ alone makes it outstanding
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Great - Open, free and secure
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Great - It runs Ad Blocker Plus (ABP)
~ Unxs on Aug 7, 2009

Just OK -

Great - Excellent customization and security!
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Just OK -
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Just OK - It is slooow. But the plugins are excellent.
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Just OK - Slow as hell, especially on older hardware.
~ anonymous on Aug 7, 2009

Great - Easy, safe, fast and modular!
~ anonymous on Jul 23, 2009

Great - cos it rumbles.

Great - YEAH!
~ anonymous on Jul 23, 2009

Great - Cross platform, works well (enough) and great community.
Thousands of extensions!
~ DDevine on Jul 23, 2009

Just OK - U SUCK!
~ anonymous on Jul 23, 2009

Great - Why is it great? It's not Internet Explorer.
~ Henry Demarest on Jul 22, 2009

Great - Far more secure then Internet exploder aka virus inciter. Adblock, noscript, The web developer toolbar, and other plug-ins make it exceptionally secure. It being open source and standards compliant is a plus.
~ Jonathan Chance on Jul 22, 2009

Great - It is made of standards-respecting win, and also runs adblock to save my delicate little retine.
~ anonymous on Jun 27, 2009

Great - It's just great, and it doesin't get eaten by windoze viroses!

That's just great!

And it's: great!
~ anonymous on Jun 26, 2009

Great - Extensible, fast and smooth. The latest version improved speed, and CPU leaks. I recommend downloading this browser and giving it a go. If you're not a power-user, and have no need for extensions and configurable options, you might be more interested in Opera. Another great browser.
~ Spyware on Jun 25, 2009

Just OK - When Firefox will give user a control of Flash animations - great cause of CPU time and instability, it will be "Great". But this isn't going to happen...

~ Paul Sokolovsky on Jun 25, 2009

Great -
~ anonymous on May 27, 2009

Great - lots of add-ons make this the best browser out there.
~ anonymous on May 18, 2009

Just OK - Many powerful features, but XUL in OS X is a, well, less-than-native–feeling. Text rendering is also far less pretty than Safari.
~ Noah on May 18, 2009

Great - plugins ftw
~ anonymous on Apr 20, 2009

Great - The best of the best. 'Nuff said.
~ anonymous on Apr 19, 2009

Great - In an age in which all browsers have (more or less) the same basic functionality, one tends to look beyond the basics - and there Firefox outshines all.
~ jjj on Apr 11, 2009

Great - Fast, plugins are great for advanced users and evelopers, and they get security updates out to users fast. Everything you could want in a browser.
~ Mark Ramm on Apr 9, 2009

Great - The Best Browser since Peanut Butter was made. Cannot get a better Browser, Even if MS Went Open Source, LMAO
~ Marine2009 on Apr 3, 2009

Great - The new private browsing feature lets me look at as much porn as I want without getting caught!
~ anonymous on Apr 2, 2009

Great - The UI is amazingly efficient and memory use is constantly being decreased.

The number of useful extensions is nice too.
~ anonymous on Apr 1, 2009

Just OK - Navigation bar takes up too much vertical real estate. This is very important on laptops.
~ Cameron Bracken on Apr 1, 2009

Just OK - Every iteration gets more bloated and slower, with more idiotic UI "features."

Still the only one with a buttload of extensions though.
~ anonymous on Apr 1, 2009

Great - Firefox is great because it revitalized the web during a time of stagnation. It remains great because of its active approach to innovating and improving web browser technology.
~ anonymous on Apr 1, 2009

Great - Many useful add-ons.
~ anonymous on Apr 1, 2009

Great - It just works
~ anonymous on Apr 1, 2009

Just OK - ui is bloated
~ anonymous on Mar 31, 2009

Just OK - While Firefox is undoubtedly the best browser I have every used, it still could use some work. For example, when streaming video firefox will allow 'helper' applications to take unreasonable amounts of system resources and then not do a good job of cleaning up afterwords, leaving a system extremely sluggish until stopping and restarting Firefox.
~ HillHobbit on Mar 31, 2009

Great - Fast, secure and just awesome!
~ anonymous on Mar 31, 2009

Great - simple the best around
~ anonymous on Mar 31, 2009

Just OK - real problems with pdfs, google link compromises objectivity, addon site now plays favorites, no built in irc or bitorrent
~ anonymous on Mar 30, 2009

Just OK - Though I love firefox, for me it's gotten slower and less responsive over time and versions. I've now been driven to swiftfox which seems to retain the speed I experienced in earlier versions of firefox.
~ eternalelegy on Mar 30, 2009

Great - When it comes to browsers, it's hard to beat Firefox. I couldn't imagine browsing without some of the features I have become used to—excellent ad blocking thanks to Adblock Plus, an easily customizable interface, feed reading capabilities, web design tools, and much more. And even after you have customized Firefox to your taste, it still responds quickly and performs wonderfully!
~ JLS on Mar 14, 2009

Great - While a lot of attention has been paid to the webkit browsers like Chrome, I still like stability and the gazillion plugins Firefox offers.
