    Yes, I agree with other posters - Firefox does load more slowly, but we
    know why that is already, because M$ cheats and has most of the code for
    Internet Exploder already in memory when you launch it.

    They also didn't seem to mention (might have missed it), the single
    killer app advantage of Firefox - tabbed browsing.

    Hold the Control key down, when you follow a link - it will appear in a
    new tab in the same browser window.
