I use CrazyBrowser because I'm crazy and it's pretty similar to Avant but better.
The good thing about firefox is that it handles webpages better, loads faster and has all these cool plugins for it to do anything. The onyl thing I don't like about it and why I'm not using it is because all the tabs don't open up when you open the browser. Other than that and I'd be using it.

- no skins up there...
I'm using firefox, have been for a while now, and was using the mozilla browser before that.
You want reasons why you should use firefox? Try this place 
Firefox itself is meaningless.
People just want to strike a little fear into Microsoft's heart by telling them that we have no brand loyalty to them, that we use their products mostly because we lack alternatives.
It's really just a shot across the bow that says "when Linux is user friendly your dead, tick tock, tick tock my Red Wood friend"
I recently switched over when 1.0 came out. I didn't have any particular problems with IE, it's just that the risk of accidentally going to a website that could screw up my computer through IE is too great, and I don't want to have to deal with results of that. Theres nice little features, too. The ctrl-f functionality of Firefox is much better than IE's, because it appears at the bottom of the screen(less intrusive) and has highlighting. Some of the plugins are pretty nice too, like the one I have that puts weather info in the corner of the status bar. Download it and play around with it for a few minutes and try it out, I don't think it changes your system at all so if you don't like it you can just uninstall.
Avant Browser owns all. I've been using it for the past 8+ months.

Dear Internet Explorer: I'm leaving Robert Vamosi ZDNet.com November 16, 2004, 15:07 GMT Tell us your opinion! You cheat, you lie and you're unwilling to change. Well, I've finally had enough and there's nothing you can say that will make me change my mind Dear Internet Explorer: It's over. Our relationship just hasn't been working for a while, and now, this is it. I'm leaving you for another browser. I know this isn't a good time -- you're down with yet another virus. I do hope you feel better soon -- really, I do -- but I, too, have to move on with my life. Fact is, in the entire time I've known you, you seem to always have a virus or an occasional worm. You should really see a doctor. That said, I just can't continue with this relationship any longer. I know you say you'll fix things, that next time it'll go better -- but that's what you said the last time -- and the time before that. Each time I believed you. Well, not any longer. You cheater! The truth is there's nothing more you can say to make things better. I know about your secret marriage to Windows. You say you two are not seeing each other anymore, but I just don't believe it. You say you can live without Windows, and I've heard that Windows can live without you, but I know that's simply not true. What about HTML email in Outlook? Every time there's a new letter in the Inbox, you rush over to help Windows render it. And what about HTML within Word? There you go again. And don't get me started with those late nights you've spent rendering thumbnail images in Windows Explorer. You're all over Windows and, what, you just expect me to turn a blind eye? You're no longer fit For another thing, you've gone and gotten all lazy and out of shape on me. When was the last time you picked up a new feature? Two years ago? Three? While you rest on your laurels, while you spend your days slapping patches on the various flaws that seem to pour out as though your source code were a colander, the Internet has changed. A lot. Last Christmas, I gave you a free RSS reader, Pluck, and you seemed to like it, with new feeds popping up from time to time keeping you fun and relevant. It gave me reason to think maybe you and I could work things out. But, in the end, it just wasn't a true fit; it wasn't really a part of you. When I mentioned wanting to view more than one Web page at a time, you just laughed, said it couldn't be done. Well, I knew that wasn't true. Opera, Netscape, and now Firefox, they can all do it. You simply don't want to discuss change. And when you do, it's only because of someone else. A certain someone else: Windows. Don't deny it. You didn't think twice when Windows XP SP2 offered you its shiny new pop-up blocker. Or gave you new firewall protection. I know Windows has promised to block buffer overflows, too -- but I'll believe it when I see it. Yet what have you done for me lately? I don't want to keep upgrading my operating system just to keep you around. Talk about baggage. This is it I know, I've tried breaking up before, and I've always come back, but that's because I couldn't find the right browser to move on with. I want an independent browser, one that stands on its own without a co-dependent operating system. What I want is a browser that's strong and secure, one that handles the latest content and won't crash. I want transparency. I want code that actually means something. I have found just that. With Mozilla Firefox, at least I know where I stand. The code is open source, built from the ground up, clean -- not recycled. No more hidden agendas. At least when there's a flaw in Firefox, this browser alerts me on its toolbar. It doesn't try to hide its mistakes, waiting until the second Tuesday of the month to offer me a patch for some flaw that's been out there for six months already. I can take my Firefox to my Mac and Linux friends, and everyone gets along just fine. You barely even talk to Macs anymore, and you always seem to walk out of the room whenever Linux stops by. Why? What are you afraid of? Honestly, a grown browser like you afraid of a little operating system? I think this snobby behaviour speaks volumes about what's wrong with this relationship. So this is it: Good-bye. I know you'll do fine without me; you always have. I'm sure there'll be someone who'll find you to be cute and interesting. It just won't be me. |

When Firefox 1.0 came out i tried downloading the thing for hours, i finally downloaded it and it was not what i expected! I must say i would rather use IE than Firefox, not that i think FF is shite i jus like IE much better.
But i must say after seeing your post taltul i think i may try out Avant again, i used this about 2 years ago and thought it was excellent but got rid when my pc messed up.
Think ill try Avant again 
firefox is great. anything that originates from IE code is a s ecurity risk (avant). firefox is good because it is so customisable. the tabbed browsing is fantastic, and it doesn't remove the url you just spent time typing if the page cannot be found, nor does it take you to the most useless search on the planet.
it removes the issue of activeX security, it helps in the fight against spyware as most spyware is written to hijack IE, not firefox. plus it has an integrated pop-up blocker which is fantastic. it doesn't let websites install software unless you allow it, unlike IE.
the skins which are available are great, and there are shitloads of cool plugins to get. the fact you can press your middle button (or wheel) to open a link in a new tab is great. to copy the url of a picture from a website you just righ-click and "copy image location" instead of opening the properties page. the integrated download manager ACTUALLY WORKS, and is not toss like the IE one.
it handles bandwidth better, it loads website quicker and for that matter correctly, unlike IE which reads HTML in its own spasticated way. the history actually deletes when you tell it to delete, instead of pretending to delete then respawning itself a minute later. plus firefox has a recent pages menu (labelled "go") so you dont have to go into your history to remember what site it was that you were on 10 minutes ago.
and to put the icing on the cake, the random running dog gif looks wicked in firefox. its a dog on speed!
need any more reasons?
i love firefox, nuff said
