3. It's all about the extensions
In my opinion. You can really make it a great browser by adding some of the better extensions.

11. And mouse gestures
And sage, link preview, google preview, foxy tunes...

And the extension that is a MUST for all DUers is the BBCode extension where you can do things like bold text, underline, italicswith just a click of the mouse. :D

7. I got an important question:
I recieved a nasty browser hijacker that changed my homepage when I was on IE. I used Ad-Aware, Spybot Search And Destroy, SpySweeper and Norton AntiVirus, and the damn thing would reload under a new file name. But now that I have Mozilla Firefox, is there a possibility that the browser homepage hijacker would transfer over to Firefox?? Because that son of a bitch was impossible to get rid of, and I'm afraid that it'll carry over to my new browser.

Any knowledge is appreciated. Thanx.

9. I've been using it for several months now
and haven't had that problem. I am familiar with it from IE, both the homepage jacking and the search from the toolbar jacking. It would just drive me crazy. I haven't had it happen on Firefox so far. I think you're gonna love it.

10. Don't think so.
The hi-jacker you have is probably installed as software. If you go to add/remove software in your Control Panel, take a look for software with no registration and around the date that you got infected. It might have an uninstall function....which might require you to visit their website to finish (and where they can beg you to keep it).
