Firefox - the future of browsing

A lot of the work I do at AntBiz Consulting involves wandering around the web in search for new ideas for web promotion and web design.

I accidentally went today to this website: www.SpreadFirefox.com

Yes, I did get there by accident (seen a button on one of Mishoo's sites - my best friend) and wanted to know what it is about. I cannot believe the community that has been created since the first time I used Firefox :)

I use FireFox (Thanks to Mishoo, either) since it was at version 0.8 and I have to say that I am more than happy with this browser.

But, let's take it step by step.

1. What is FireFox?

Well, according to my knowledge Firefox is an open source Internet (Web) Browser.
Well, if you wonder what an internet browser is, you really need to download and use this. Why? Because I'm sure you are using a very flawed one that is already built in your Operating System, which is almost sure a version of Windows.

2. Why choose FireFox?

Well, first and most of all maybe, it is a hell of a great browser and it is free.
I will tell you the story of me choosing Firefox:
"About one or two years ago some problems started to really annoy me: Pop-up windows on my monitor, weird behaviour from my OS (windows, of course). I was sure that I had some kind of virus - spyware and adware, actually - but everytime I got rid of it, a new one appeared, or those that should have dissapeared appeared again.
Well, the only way of being sure that you have no viruses that I know is keeping your computer shut down. I should have done this, but a man's gotta eat sometimes, isn't it? :) Well, then I chose the next best thing: Linux Operating System, RedHat 9 at the time, to be more precise. Unfortunately, one of my clients needed something done in windows and I had to go back to that infamous Operating System.
This time, yet, I didn't want to be surfing and getting all kind of spyware and adware, I wanted to get rid of pop-up windows, I wanted to have a free taskbar (I use to open 20-30 websites at one time), I wanted something that I could modify and add functionality to my needs. The solution? Of course, FireFox."

Probably most of you have the same problem (I heard that windows put a pop-up blocker in their windows XP sp2, but I don't think that will do any better, anyway, as their browser SUCKS!!!!).
Well, why not download FireFox then and give it a shot.

3. Firefox Advantages

Well, this is where I have a big problem: I don't know where to start. :)
Let's see the advantages in the order I needed at the time:
