This might sound kind of stupid, but I dont get it. What's the deal with those foxes and birds of fire? Ofcourse.. I could look it up myself but I am sure that we have alot of users who would like to explain.
They are browsers - right? 
Are they?!
What's so special about them? Why do I see soooooo many different posts about them? I still dont get it.
Is this the end? :cry:

Why do we like firebird? Ill give you my favorite things...
Tabbed Browsing
Bookmarks Toolbar
Search Toolbar (with plugins)
Keywords and searching
The various themes
No popups
Completely customizable
Blazingly fast
Free
What else?
*NONE OF IE'S BUGS OR SECURITY FLAWS 
:6
*Faster than IE
*Renders CSS about 200% better than IE
*It's Open-source

bwahahaha. good one.
and its so true
tabs are great. (ya i know opera, myIe.. etc).
Opensource always makes me happy.
it renders more quickly.
You can find builds optimized for your architecutre in the forums (SSE2)
No stupid ActiveX stuff, so you don't have to worry about getting stupid popup software installed without knowing it. It wont even ask/show you anything.
Skinnable, not only that but the interface is all around more hackable attackable then MyIE or opera.
Extensions, thousands of extensions to add even more features (www.mozdev.org)
popup blocker (so what XP-SP2 is going to add it, we had it first)
did i mention it's OSS?
And PNG alpha blending so you can experience avatars like mine :naughty:

yeh, otherwise you get the ugly blue color.
wuts the deal with the name though, they keep changing it, linking one word to another 
I pretty much echo all of what others have said... but the most important stuff to me is the customizability, rendering speed, and tabs. I hate having lots of windows in the taskbar, they annoy me.

thanks, thats my new ie icon
So where can u get themes and stuff from then ?? Ive been wanting to get rid of IE for some time now and this seems like the best way to go. Is there a theme for it that makes it look like safari ??
I checked the theme section on the link provided but there doesnt appear to be any.
Thanks
several themes will be released soon. keep checking the skins section.
you can also check lynchknot's site: http://home.comcast.net/%7Elynchknot/fthemes.html
and texturizer: http://texturizer.net/firefox/themes/
Thanks dreamz i appreciate the links....
I just downloaded it so im of to play around and hopefuly ditch IE
no problem. firefox is just such a neat browser. i hope you enjoy it.
try out some tweaks as well. you can tweak the settings to increase performance.
i've ditched ie since firebird 0.6.
my top reason for using Firebird:
right clicking an image and choosing 'view image'
best option EVER
One thing I hate about Microsoft is though, why do they have to make some sites i.e. Windows Update only compatiable with IE, it really steams me!
-Jimmy S
p.s. Is there any way around this, if there was, I would then stop IE from taking up valuable space on my hard drive.
love firbird/firefox...ok..one request...I will be satisfied...is to have a option for open new links in tab by default in preference ..so that when its set as default...I don't have to right click and goto the menu then select open link in tabs..it will just automatically open in the tab...saves lots of clicking if you surf quite a bit...I am sure we all do...
:rant:
Why don't you click and drag it onto the tab bar? You need to have more than one tab open though.
uh
They are the best two (firefox for browsing, thunderbird for email) clients for browsing and email I haver ever used...cept for symbian evolution but that is only for Linux.

If you have a mouse with a scroll-wheel that functions as a third button, just use that to click on a link and it will open in a new tab. That has definitely become one of my fav features in firefox.
