FireFox?

All right, I'm just about ready to cave. I know, I know, everybody who's anybody uses FireFox already, but I have held out because I like my comfort zone and am afraid of having figure out how to work a new browser. But I'm almost ready to think about switching (mostly because the new version of IE is heinously ugly and I refuse to update, which kind of leaves me out in the cold). So tell me, is FireFox really all that and a bag of chips? Is it hard to use? Should I just suck it up and make the switch? Tell me what to dooo.

"Save page as" and choose type "web page, complete" if you want to do what I think you want to do.

And adblock! Firefox is worth it just for adblock.

And as you type dictionaries.

Thanks for the tip with the web pages. I really haven't used FF much, and I must agree that the main reason was the interface... it just doesn't really appeal to me, I prefer Safari (but haha, I used to have toule letting go of IE back when I switched, because initially I didn't like Safari's look and feel, either).

I noticed that FF is behaving better than Safari when it comes to uploading stuff to Mediafire.com or Gigasize.com, so maybe I'll see if I can get used to it. (Safari blocks pop-ups, too, so that alone doesn't convince me. XD)
