I have mozilla firefox but haven't bothered using it. What is the big deal about it anyways? Besides it would take forever to move all my bookmarks over there.

IE has been working just fine for me. No problems chatting... especially with myself.

Decided to give this firefox a try and see if it works for me...nope but I think I found my new browser ;) ;) This is nice. I really like the tabs...what are some other neat features here i am not aware of?

It transferred by bookmarks for me btw...nice.
