If you don't use it, the internet community will look down upon you.
Sarcasm aside, it's a great browser.

Yes it does. Overall, it's just more reliable. More secure. I find that the browsing speed is slightly faster as well, although it does take longer to startup.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

My parents just got a new computer and I'm a firefox user. Right now I can't figure out how to download the Adobe Flash Player and other things... I click on the download link and the "Downloads" window pops open but it is empty. Can anyone help me?

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out. Go Firefox.

This has been given me problems since I got firefox, I love the program and its way better then IE but I still haven't opened up the flash yet...It always says Firefox needs to be closed before it can open, then when I close the program it says the same thing, not sure what's going on or how to fix that.
