Yes, but its on a mainstream news site not a lesser known tech-only site.

I have a pleasant surprise when Im going about work and find someones PC that has firefox on , as its not standard software for us.

I rarely ever actually make a switch to new programs after fiddling around a bit with them, but Firefox was an exception - I was converted from the minute I opened it up for the first time. :-)

Pages tend to open (a bit) slower and there are some definate compatability issues with some sites but on the whole it's bloody excellent! Ad blocking (not this site of course ) and all the other tastey features and add-ons make firefox just great to use...

Hmm, shame you still need ie to update stuff etc...

[Yohji]

I prefer Opera.

Theres currently "issues" with GWA, some people are being logged into other peoples forum accounts for example..

Anyway for any one whos interested (and for those who are thinking of making the change) heres a largish guide for FF which includes some tweaks guides as well.

EDIT: poindextermatic, what kind of cat is that in ur sig? That looks like a seriously cool cat!
