Some people say that others use Mozilla Firefox not because they loved the functionalities it provides but because they just hate Internet Explorer (or they hate Bill Gate’s guts). It’s like a bandwagon effect against the monopoly or the establishment.
With the release of IE integrating tabbed browsing (the first feature I love about FF), the gap between the two browsers have closed in. Again, there are other alternatives out there that are as robust (others even faster) as Firefox. Now, the number of Firefox users have climbed to a level (2-digit figure) that one can no longer consider it as a minority. That label may now be passed on to Maxthon (which Google bought into) and the ever-social Flock browser.
Will the day come that people will start leaving Firefox? Has Firefox lost its flare?

Hell no.
Once you’ve touched the flames of the fox, you won’t use any other browser again.
IE is still slow, the main difference from these two browsers is IE wait for the whole page to load. and as for firefox, it starts to flame the first few elements as it loads giving you an idea how the site looks like instead of waiting in IE. Firefox parin ako!
I don’t think FF is losing its flame. FF still is the best browser because FF can support some plugins while IE lost its case on the ‘plugins’ court battle. IE remains the slowest and still a spyware magnet.
IE is really slow compared to FF. That’s about it.
what i like about firefox is that it feels light as opposed to IE which feels heavy when it comes to launching both applications IE feels like its doing a lot of things in the background so there is a ceratin amount of delay .. this is just a feeling .. there is no hard evidence to support it
A majority of my users use Firefox, but then again, most are United States based.
I think with a majority of the Filipinos who use the internet cafes, Internet explorer will still be the most used browser by a landslide simply because most owners of cafes haven’t switched to Firefox.
I have to agree with some regarding Firefox, I use it almost exclusively on my computer, and it does have a tendency to freeze up once in a while.
But, IE’s tabbed browsing, in my opinion, is much easier compared to FF.
Damn, correction:
