I think I'm going to install it anyways because I hate IE.

I was just bringing up the fact that there is a popup on the site for the powers that be and it is rather annoying, but hey its their site.

That's a great idea! I use Firefox Portable on my flash drive for when I'm on a computer other than my own. I even have Adblock Plus and Xmarks loaded on it. It's a great way to keep your browser with you, including bookmarks and settings.

I use google chrome. It's compact. If I didn't care about the few extra pixels being taken up, I'd use Firefox 1.5. Because 2.x and 3.x is all bloatware and an insult to browsers now. I haven't seen much "improvement" at all. I think Google has the solution to making browsing run smoother.

Google chrome uses more harddrive space for those parts of the browser that needs a lot of space, such as the history, and the history of closed tabs. That's one memory leak of firefox I think is what has destroyed it, is the ability to go back to a tab you closed. It's too buggy, I would think. And then Google Chrome uses more processes, but I am able to use more tabs on Google chrome than Firefox due to stability being better.

But on that - if you plan on breaking rules and installing firefox, get 1.5. Best version of Firefox ever.
