Firefox is a great browser. 100 million downloads so far. And it's very extensible. You can add some marvellous plugins and extensions to it like delicious. http://mozilla.com (used to be mozilla.org).

A good plug in to add right away is called stumble. http://stumbleupon.com I'm at http://springnet.stumbleupon.com

Another great plug in is sessionsaver which can save tabs as sets. See my site http://stumblicious.com for tips on stumble, delicious and sessionsaver

I'm having a tough time upgrading my Mozilla Firefox on my Linux boxes. When I get the procedure down, I'll post it.

Linux and Unix systems * If Firefox 1.5.0.1 is installed to a location with spaces in the path, it may not be able to set itself as default browser and may keep prompting at startup. The work around is to install into a path without spaces. * GNOME integration does not work properly with Fedora Core 3. Users of Fedora Core 3 will need to download and install linc-1.0.3-3.1.i386.rpm. After installing the RPM, perform the following command in the directory you installed Firefox 1.5.0.1 into (you will need write permission): touch .autoreg The next time you start Firefox 1.5.0.1, GNOME integration should be functional. * firefox -remote (mozilla-xremote-client) no longer works on urls containing commas, and is deprecated. firefox -new-window /url/ will open the url in a new window; firefox -new-tab /url/ will open the url in a new tab. from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.1.html See what I mean? It's just not cut and dried.
