Thanks for your concerning message on my profile about the Firefox Myths. Well, as far as I can tell, I'm still not planning killing any president of any outstanding nation and to secretly post it on my blog or on Pownce. See, I'm nothing less than a 25 year old girl who only fools around the net, and if I ever wanted to make an online transaction, a bank account transferring or something else that involves security issues, I surely would be worried about any info leaks on FF, but I do not! Anyway, thanks for outstanding some interesting points ;).

It doesn't bother me at all, as you can see I use both Firefox and Opera regularly and on the odd occasion Internet Explorer (usually checking web designs). But still I prefer Firefox because the extensions and user interface I like a lot more than the other two.

So I'm not sure why your trying to convince me to use something other than Firefox, it's not like I've never tried the other two. Also most of these myths I had never heard of and always knew otherwise.

As for some of the points like "Opera supports Extensions in Opera 9 known as Widgets" last I checked Opera 9's widgets aren't anything like extensions, they get in the way of browsing more than they help and I'm yet to come across a single useful one.

If there's one major reason to support Firefox over Opera and Internet Explorer it's because it's open source (so they're giving code back to the community) and using it helps their project as they get funding from a partnership with Google amongst other things. Despite what that page tries to make you believe in a quick glance the majority of the project is in fact open source and the author of that particular page is being irrational in bringing up the fact that a trademark isn't open source.

Ya unless you're smart enough to tweak your FF to use 0MB or RAM. =D

Might I ask, why all the hate for Firefox? It's much better than Internet Explorer in every way I can think of: rendering, scripting, interface, features, stability.

"Lame brower ....he dont know full scripts ... full sites bugs with them", might I ask what this means? It sounds like to me you've found a site that works in Opera and Internet Explorer but not Firefox, this would be very rare and the only one to blame is the programmer for not testing it and not keeping to standards.

Firefox is better IMHO, besides it makes my job easier (Web Developer). Without it I'd be back to the old way of debugging Javascript, don't get me wrong though, Opera is good; it's faster and seems more stable, but Firefoxs extensions and its license (Open Source) make it my choice for a main browser. Also I prefer the Gecko rendering engine to Operas at times.
