Firefox is a well known success case. I ’ve been using it for years and version 3 (which is almost ready) has great improvements. Opera has been around for years and it’s a stable browser, known for innovations in the browsing experience.

It looks like the memory eating Mozilla mystery could soon be solved, now that Mozilla Corp has finally admitted that Firefox has a problem.

Cnet has rated Firefox 3 as the best browser out of IE 8, Safari 3 and Opera 9.5, and gives special mention to Flock!!

Mozilla Corp. yesterday patched 10 vulnerabilities, half of them marked "critical," in its open-source browser as it updated Firefox to Version 2.0.0.13. The new Mozilla Messaging Inc. spin-off, however, was not able to provide a matching update to its Thunderbird e-mail client, which shares five of the Firefox flaws that were fixed.

One of the biggest complaints a Firefox evangelist encounters is "it doesn't act or feel like browser X." Internet Explorer users complain that Firefox doesn't look like what they're used to. Opera, Safari, and Netscape users complain that it's missing many of their favorite features. And the social networking gurus point to the powerful social networking features Flock boasts and Firefox lacks.
