Default Why do people like firefox?

Why do you exactly like firefox, i think it is a terrible browser, worse than IE? Can someone tell me why you use firefox as eventually it will be hacked like IE and netscape did?
Why would you rather be in a huge group, instead of a small group?

I am asking this because everyone that uses firefox will get hacked one day, and as far as i care i feel safe with netscape, it is fast, it has a WYSIWYG, it has a AIM and e-mail client built in.

to be honest i dont know; i think its because it was their when IE was getting flamed into the ground... Netscape is only useful if you cant be bothered to run dreamweaver/MSNM seperately..

All the hacks that work of firefox 1.0.0 also work for netscape 7.2, so i cannot see the problem.

just cause you don't like it doesn't mean its ****. IE isn't **** either if you don't go around downloading the activex controllers

firefox has many good features the tabbing being one it also has lots of mods and lots of skins

as for your comment everyone using firefox will get hacked one day like IE is a load of. only noobs or dumb people that go around looking at porn or downloading cracks from bad crack sites will get hacked if your smart you wont get hacked its only from stupidity that people get hacked etc. as they say make something idiot prove they will invent a bigger idiot. IE even tells you that you proberly should download the active x controll maybe people should lister to the warning instead of just clicking yes so that you canwatch your porn.

further more i would like to add that i use firefox because of the good mods and the excellent features

The good old adblock from Firefox
Nothing beats it. I've tried many ad blocker, non as good as the one that is available for firefox

But don't worry about it,
everything is hackable.
I just don't understand why you have internet Robert if you are so worried about something as small as that

FireFox is nowhere near slow and if you don't like the default skin, change it. Problem(s) Solved
