Yes, of course you should.

You are using IE currently? FF will stop pop-ups and keep spyware low. It also loads pages much quicker. My most favorite feature, though, is TABBED BROWSING!

I was about to post the same thread. I have mozilla right now that I just downloaded, dont see anything special about it. It constantly has little pop up confirmation windows when I post a message too, annoying me to no end.

The only thing about Mozilla is that it's a large program. It has an e-mail program, which is useless to people who just sign-on with their browser.

I still cant find out what this TAB thing is heh. I opened a new firefox browser window and it opened up a regular new window, not a tab or anything heh. So what is this TAB thing. I just switched to firefox because mozilla was slow and the email program was really crapping out. All kinds of horrible errors.
