I searched and nothing came up but if there is, feel free to close this.
 --- i had noticed a few people with the firefox graphic in their sigs and was wondering what was so good about firefox. like why is it "safer and faster"? i am not trying to put it down or say anything bad about it, i just wanted to know what was so good about it. |

because if you were to write a virus to target computers, would you want to target %90 of the world's computers or %3?
smaller targets= less chance of getting hit. that, in addition to firefox's safety tools and customability are great. i switched after spyware started bogging down my system. This was with two spyware-removers, two firewalls, and antivirus. since switiching, i have not had one case of adware or a virus. i only wish windows would stop opening I.E. everytime i click on a 'help' file or something in a program. |

I switched to Firefox because it's faster and because of the tabs. I LOVE THE TABS.
