2. should i really get it? will it effect my system in any way?

ashar

EDIT: does it require Internet Explorer to be uninstalled?

1. Sure! Otherwise, I wouldn't use it...
2. Yes and No.

Edit: No.

thnx Progress, im getting it right away!!

Enjoy!!! No popups... aaahhh.... if you find you actually need to see a popup (some sites use them in lieu of a page flip), you can switch to IE. That's happened to me maybe once out of the hundreds of sites I've been to since installing it.

hehehe, I've been using it for some time now with my dsl connection...didn't even know that I was until about two weeks after I got connected to dsl..:-)

If there is a pop up you want to see it can be done in Firefox, from the "tab" bar (FF lets you know there is a popup right hand side of tab bar) , and you can also set it to allow pop ups from sites you want them allowed at.
And there is a extension for IE so if a site you need to use can only be accessed through IE you can do so through FF without switching browsers
Firefox can do everything and more than any browser out there it is just a matter of setting it up to what you want it to do

That's all true- I forgot. Haven't properly tweaked mine yet. Fools rush in, and all that...

Its free and better. A combination rarely seen.

Get it.

It is definently worthy of a download.  Heck I'm typing this while wearing a Firefox 1.0 t-shirt.  ;)

If Firefox wasn't that popular,I'd buy one of those t-shirts,too...

Love Firefox as a browser and all it's options.

Another great plus is the plugins you can download for it.

I also like the great ease at which you can up update the browser or any of your plugins.

I have gotten all the plugins so far and everything works flawlessly.

It's a MUST HAVE in my opinion.
