Those of you who use it, how do you like it? Any problems or things you dont like? I wish there were actually themes to choose from.

I like it...only thing to improve is the loading time. I know you can keep part of it loaded in memory to make it faster but that also slows down the system.
There are themes to choose from. :confused:
I love Firefox. I use it on one of my Windows boxes as well as on my LKinux box. It's fast, stable, and isn't made by the all-powerful Gates.

Firefox is a great browser and I highly recommend it. I use it as my primary browser at work and as my secondary browser at home (I use Safari at home most of the time).

Hey I was the only one that used Firefox. I love it... I used to use Camino, but that one ended up sucking majorly. Where did you guys get it from? I use versiontracker.com and macupdate.com

That's a funny pic!! Bill Gates's head on a video game pic!! I like Mozilla Firefox, don't use it since it is kind of slow.

It's not the program itself that's slow. It's Windows (or the Windows build, at least). I have a buddy who runs FireFox on Linux, and it's a heck of a lot faster.

Mine is faster than internet explorer plus there is a popup blocker so that is why i use it - no problems at ALL.

It also uses a lot less resources that IE, along with the fact that there aren't as many holes in it. It's alot faster on my computer that IE ever was. I love using it, and the bookmark toolbar is awesome.
I've used Mozilla Firefox under both Windoze XP and Linux. I love it. Under Windoze it prevents covert installs of trojans/backdoors/etc. due to the fact that it does not support M$'s online "Windows Update" interface (one of the primary holes which have been mentioned in other posts), and is not an integral part of the operating system.
One feature that I especially like is per-cookie handling: whenever a site wants to set a cookie on your machine, Firefox checks its database; if you have it set to accept no cookies from that site, it rejects the cookie; if set to accept all cookies from the site, it accepts the cookie. If there's no record, it pops up a dialog box asking you what you want to do with it. You can also check a box on this dialog box that tells Firefox to do the same with all cookies from the site.
Okay, I'm a privacy freak.
Popup blocking is sweet.
I simply cannot survive without a tabbed browser.
As with Mozilla, it's skinnable and supports plugins. However, it doesn't have nearly as many configurable options.

I like it aswell. I've use for along time now. It loads fast, and theres many themes you can chosse from. I have a cool one on mine.
its very good, doesnt freeze up, no pop ups although i still get popups because i cant get rid of IE...

Sometimes, there are minor things i dont like. Like, some websites only use I.E. and I never use I.E.

Firefox is the best free browser out there.
Its fast, tons of themes and extenions for it.
Great features ie doesnt have.
Isnt made by M$.
Can't get spyware just from browsing on websites, with ie you can.
Even the us govermint is telling us to not use ie(if you dont belive me post and ill find the link)
Firefox is built to the standard, ie isn't.
The reason some sites don't show up correct in firefox and other browsers other then ie is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
those sites are built so they only show up looking right because of the bugs in ie, Thats right, ie only sites are built to display right based on the bugs in ie.
wierd eh?
Did i mention not made by M$?
