This is the first ever Official OCC Poll. Since Firefox is the buz word right now, and OCC is battling it out with TSS, might as well find out if our members/readers have given Firefox a whirl.

No need to discuss Firefox here, just whether you've given it a try. Discussion about Firefox usage/help belongs in the software forums.


OCC Polls will run for about a week, and then will be closed.

I've been using it for a while now. A year maybe.

might want to add a couple choices for a better cross section (or not!)


Tried it and using it 24/7


tried it but went back to my old browser



just a thought...

I agree, you should have like:

Yes, and liked it.
Yes, and changed back to my old browser.
No.

I personally have recently started using it because of all the hype it was getting. It truely is a great browser though.

I'll save that as a poll to ask 6 months down the road.

Tried it and switched back to IE

tried it at first and couldn't use it, waited till they had plugins i needed, then liked it and used it 24/7.

Yep, tried it and now usiing it almost all the time. The odd time I use IE for certain pages, but mnostly (like 97%) it's Firefox. I especially like the tabbed browsing.

tried it, love it

haven't tried it yet but i plan on downloading it on wednesday.

Just recently downloaded. I think I like it.

tried it and love it, I use it 99% of the time. Only once in a while I have to use IE, then all the popups and spyware come rolling in.

Found out about it on OCC, now using it 24/7.

just downloaded it earlier today I like what i see. it'll be a toss up between firefox and Opera.

Been using it since June, I absolutely love it. i install it on all fo my friends computers... its a crap load better than IE!

I have been using it for about 2 months now,,,,I love it...although it doesn't like overclocking at all....It has just gone crazy and I have lost all my bookmarks and have to start over, but latley it has been running great.

i guess i am one of the only 5 who voted who has not tried this firefox browser, i my self use opera for the simple fact i have been using it for a few years and like having it set to open my most often sites when i open the browser, does firefox allow this?

been using it since last year, Never going back to IE

been using firefox for about a year, loved every internet session since

I refuse to betray Opera!

<-- do it

Love the tabbed browsing if you could make it always use them it would be better.
Wish the bookmarks were as easy to manage as IE but a great browser

yea thats true, the bookmark thing is a lil unfriendly..but i'm sure they'll fix that i have faith in the fox

only other complaint is not of Firefox's doing I am sure but where I live (middle of nowhere) I don't have broadband and my accelerator program (earthlink) does not work with it

I use the OC browser

I love it and use it all the time.

I have been using Firefox since it's first beta version was released to the public. It's a great browser, what can I say.

tried it and opera... firefox won

It'd be a shame to mention firefox without mentioning the extensions it offers...I really like to think of firefox as being the barebones install and the extensions allowing personalization.

Right now I'm using:


Download Statusbar with the normal download window shut off
Single Window so the links I click wind up in the same window
Foxy Tunes configure it for winamp and the little bar at the bottom of my screen serves me up with tuns while staying out of the way of my browsing
Mouse Gestures call me lazy, but I'm sure the opera fans will agree these are cool

Lots of other interesting customizations out there...too many to list here in fact. If you want to check them out just click on tools and then go to extensions (you can configue extensions that you've downloaded here) then click on get extensions and find what you want. Spiffy.

oops.. yes i use it.. sorry

firefox rocks

Remember everyone, we're not here to talk about the browsers/plugins just answering a simple yes/no question.

YES it ROCKS! Load pages faster! i was like o CRAP! LOL!

I've been using it since it was Firebird - I love it...

ditto

Been using it for about 8 months now. Gotta love no popups !!

Been using it for like 6 months or so I use to share it with IE but this latest release has been just flawless so I no longer need IE at all.

tried it about a month ago. I don't use it 24/7, but i DO use it a lot. Usually if I'm consciously starting up web browsing, then i go thru firefox, but I have IE as default, so if I go thru a program, I use IE. Really the only thing i think makes firefox stand out (and better) is the tabbing...but not really that it tabs, but that i can just middle click to open it in a new tab....even if middle click worked to open up a new window, i just like it better than having to right-click and select open in new window....just quicker in firefox

I jusdt started using it when I came to OCC actually, and fell in love with it, way better than IE and not a single pop-up yet, i have reffered about 80 people to use it since I got it *though OCC of course* an they are nuts over it

oh yeah vote #100, do i get a prize?

Tried it about a year ago and didn't care for it. But I gave it a try again about 2-3 months ago, and now I am very impressed overall. I have put it on as the default browser on 3 of my home PC's and I use it as my default work PC browser. I have even started to slowly introduce it to a few users at work as I often do the new computer system software setups. I have found it to be faster overall than IE6 and it has great pop-up management features as well. I also like how it gives the user the option to save
login info for each site, very configurable. Letely I have also been installing it on some of the machines I do tech/consulting work on and I encourage the user to use it instead of IE6 as their main browser.

I have used it. Can't seem to get the tabs to work right, so that is a bit of a drag. Its nice otherwise.

I have used firefox since it was named Phoenix and that name before Phoenix (forgot the term).

Awesome browser, switched from IE a long time ago and love it.

Yep, using it as I type.

I just started useingg last week works better then other broswers I have had.

yeah, i started using it after IE started crashing and crashing...

now i cant stand IE at school...

Firefox is the best Broswer Ever

tried it for 3 minutes and LUVED IT

I have been using it for about 8 months now because I got sick of the endless popups for no reason on IE. I didn't want to waste time constantly scanning for adware, spyware, etc. I have had nothing but fast uninteruppted browsing with Firefox, and I don't see myself ever using IE again.

BTW DangerousFigure, yes Firefox will open all your common sites at once when you first open the browser. I also use that feature.

well right now i am using firefox and so far i like it a lot more than ie. i haven't had one popup yet and i love the tabbed browsing. however i still use ie because for some reason i can't use gamespy download manager on firefox so i use ie for that. huzzah for firefox!

Yes..... I tried 3 about months and never turned back to IE. Just a great [and better] browser overall. [Still trying to get friends to get out of the "old" and into the "new"].
