Anyone else use firefox?

Just downloaded it today and so far I like it - but I'm not sure exactly how it prevents trojan downloads and all the features that it has.

Anyone use this and what are some of the features I should take advantage of?

I have all the browsers on my pc because when i build a website I need to check cross browser compatability. Other than that I dont use firefox for anything but testing. The load time gets me angry lol

It is a nice browser. I believe the real power of this browser comes in the 'extensions' that can be added to it.

Tools-->Extensions-->Get More Extensions

I use the bugmenot and Web Developer Extensions

The Web Developer one is pretty slick. You can make live edits to the CSS of a page and see the results right in the browser. Pretty cool stuff.

I agree there is no substitute for real development tools.

But, free is nice too.
