Yes I believe it is. I have been using firefox for about 2 years now and I think it is the best browser.

Firefox is certainly my favorite browser (it's the one I'm using now), but I do think that there is an argument for using different browsers for different purposes. I use Internet Explorer now and again, though I have to say I'm not particuarly keen on it. I also have Opera and Safari installed because I find that they will often open pages that Firefox and IE can't or won't display.

Yes Firefox is the best web browser. I recently got a new computer and have never used firefox before. On my desktop i have both internet explorer and firefox and i always opt to use firefox rather than any other one. I always thought firefox would be slower or not as good as internet explorer or anything else.

I have also heard that safari is a good web browser as well but i have not tried it yet. I do have it on my iTouch but i don't think that i could compare my iTouch performance to a desktops performance when comparing web browsers.

Firefox is good. But I would ask you to try Google Chrome.

Well, Firefox is really good, most of you will agree, don't you. But it is hard to say which one is the best. I rather say which one is more suitable for certain people. No one can tell which is the best suit for you, you need to compare them and make a decision yourself.

I'm not paid reviewer, I'll tell you based on what I've read and my experience.

Before I start, you may want to read the short comparison here:
http://www.qtweb.net/compare.php
Or just forget it, if you're too lazy to read the technical list. Just follow my explanation below:

Firefox
----------

It has pretty much features and pretty fast. It's stable and one of the feature people like most is it supports third party plug-ins/add-ons, this makes Firefox ever more powerful. But it can cause problem if the third party add-on do not integrate well in to Firefox, it can slow down even crash the Firefox.

It has simple interface, very suitable for common user. One of the feature I like most is you can show and open recently closed tabs, you know sometimes we just accident close a tab.

Firefox sounds pretty prefect, right. No, it has problems. It will slow don't you computer (not the Internet speed) significantly if you open too many tabs. Because Firefox it not resource friendly, it needs a lot of memory to run per tab.

Firefox is good for beginner or common user. It's pretty fast, features rich and easy to use. The downside is it has some minor problems.

Internet Explorer
--------------------

It supposed to integrated well into Microsoft Windows, but in fact it has too many problems. It crash too often and it's very slow. Most people will say good bye and go to Firefox. The last version of Internet Explorer is 8, many user said it really improved. It's stable and it's as fast as Firefox.

One of the feature I like most of Internet Explorer is we can save the web page as a single archive.

Internet Explorer has too many problem, but the recent release sounds promising.

Opera
--------

It's great. It can save web pages into single archives just like what IE can do. In many cases, Opera is a bit faster than Firefox. It do not support third party plug-ins/add-ons because it already include almost all of features you need into a single pretty small installation file.

One of the greatest feature of Opera is 'Opera Turbo' technology which is turned of by default. It really make browsing faster about 2-4 times but sacrificing some of the display quality. Opera Turbo only include in future releases. You can download the alpha version: Opera 10 alpha.

Opera is as good as Firefox. The interface is far more complex and you have more things to customize. Opera is suitable for advanced user and who has slow Internet connection (turn on the turbo feature).
