I read it is better & safer than IE.
After running it for a few days I liked it but...
A lot of pages are slow to download. Are there any settings that will cure
it?
Apart from that it`s fine. The pop up blocker is brilliant.

also taking care of more that just pop ups. Depending on what page
and what it has to block out may have an effect on its speed. ??
Just a guess as I notice no difference from one site to another on
the sites I use.

I noticed it to be a second or two slower but with the benifits, I don't
mind.

You'll also find that firefox displays pages more correctly than IE does.
Where IE uses a kind of "Maybe it was meant to be done this way' thing,
firefox does not.
Plus firefox handles graphics a lot better.
IE refuse to understand PNG layering while firefox does immaculately.
Of course, every browser has it's own quirks.
But firefox seems to be the closest to perfection there is.

Strange - to me it seems that Firefox loads pages far more quickly than IE.

IME, it is slower to load the browser but page performance is fine.

it's ability to achieve more protection than IE. Once open the pages
seem to load twice as fast as IE and I have no complaints about
FireFox at all.

Don't forget, too, that IE has the advantage of having some of the
stuff it needs already loaded at boot, with that OS it's sleeping with.
Other browsers have to go it alone, and load all components themselves
on starting.
