Spread Firefox
it's hard to get uninterested people to start using firefox. i know, i've tried. 
but the ones who, like us, love it, need no nudging to download the latest release.
Wisdom in ur words

They're usually interested when their box is pretty much inoperable because of spy/adware.
A fresh format and Firefox+firewall does people good (of course you have to do all this for them lol >_<...and delete all IE shortcuts, etc.)
It goes without saying (even though I'm saying it) that they all (the many folks I've helped around the (neighbor)hood) seem to like how their PC now runs.

That's the question I asked myself two months ago before making Firefox my default browser.
So here are my answers:
- No Ads
- No bloated
- Extensions (add features that you need, no features you don't want)
- Faster (just use an optimized build and you'll see)
- Tabbed Browsing just as Opera with a little extension
- A big community improving it every day.
- Why not?
Just a a few, but it depends on your way of browsing and your preferences.
@dreamz
i couldn't disagree with you more - i have talked numerous people into switching to firefox over IE recently. they have loved that they no longer need to run an additional popup blocker or toolbar, that they can block images from pages with 2 mouse clicks and tabbed browsing.
maybe you're just not selling it hard enough
I've used Netscape/Mozilla for a few years now, occasionally trying Firefox. But this new version is superb. Smooth, efficient and intuative with a wide range of cusomisation/skins.

Seems like a complete waste of time to me. People will use whatever browser they like....regardless of how much you tell them otherwise.

yes but everyone knows someone who don't know any better than IE, and that's where you could come in and educate them.

Exactly, it's about raising awareness of an excellent product.

The word "luddite" springs to mind.
As has been noted, and as many technically minded people well know, there are countless more people who wouldn't know their IE from their elbow, and it's these people that are the ones who could really benefit from making the switch.
Just because they know no different doesn't mean that they like a given platform...
A choice of one is nary a choice at all.
Unfortunately I still must use both... 
I ordinarely use firefox (since it is simply better than all the rest) but there are still some sites that are ONLY IE compatible (mostly my university sites which, obviously, I can't give up on)...
How long would it take for these people to start making their sites FireFox compatible?.....

When you send them an email asking them (preferably nicely) to make their website Firefox compatible. There's no guarantee that they will make it compatible, but it's worth a try.
