I dont use it but i know a few people on PT do have firefox. I have a question though,what is Firefox?Its like internet explorer right but its supposed to be safer than IE?

FireFox is another browser alternative. I love it SO much better than internet explorer.. much more secure, updated CONSTANTLY... no popup ads... less spyware... I love it!!

Its also "bad" to have lots of extensions because it can use a lot of CPU and slow your computer and/or firefox down. It can also cause problems if more than one extension has conflicts with another.

My list:

BBCodeXtra *
WebmailCompose
CuteMenus - Crystal
Disable Targets For Downloads
Forecastfox
Adblock *
IE View *
Linkification *
ViewSourceWith
Gmail Manager

* denotes CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT and are MUST HAVE extensions for every firefox user!!

Do you have to pay for it? Is it really confusing to figure out? haha

It's free. I find it pretty simple, and SO much better than IE. I had to download it on my loaner computer, because IE annoyed the heck out of me.

It might be a LITTLE confusing at first if you have never used anything other than Internet Explorer before, but they have a conversion thingy that helps you out and FF will import all your favorites from IE so you won't loose your bookmarks. Once you download it go under the "help" menu and read "for internet exporer users".

I happen to like IE. It is pretty simple and fun to use for me but to each his own!!!

I love Firefox! I don't know about a favourite extension but I think the most useful is NoScript, it offers extra protection and it is hardly any hassle to use the allow/disallow. FasterFirefox is excellent too.
