Thats all bull, Firefox is slower, I really don't see what the hype is... It is slower, if you know how to measure it... The only reason it is supposedly "safer" is because there aren't as many people who try to hack it or make viruses for it... It doesn't have more features, if you keep up with windows update and all of the patches, internet explorer 7 is just as safe and has just as many features.
I guess it all depends on what you like, download it and check it out, but to me, it is just a waste of space. Alot of people like it though.
For the average user, you're not going to see much difference except having to learn a new GUI, and all of it's features.

Much better than internet explorer, as the others say. The thing about internet explorer is that the pop-up blocker isn't very reliable. So you would be getting all sorts of virus. While the firefox is the best because it has a strong pop-up blocker, which keeps your pc protected. Firefox is the BEST!!

If by FireFox you mean the browser then it depends.
Some cool features.
Bit of a chunky GUI.
Download it and give it a whirl
