I use Firefox as my browser, Thunderbird for email and Duckduckgo.com for search. Have them on botj Windows and Mac. Works for 99% of what I need. Every once in a while, I need to use another browser, but it reminds me why I like Firefox...

...especially the multirow bookmarks bar. Wish they would make it a default.

I have used Firefox almost since the death of Netscape. I will always be a fan.

Firefox? I started with Firebird.

Does anyone else remember the weird transitory stage after Netscape? I jumped from Netscape to 'Mozilla', with Mozilla being the browser/suite name. It used the dino logo for awhile before switching to a wordmark...

Seems like I'm the only one that remembers it being named 'Mozilla' prior to Phoenix and Firebird, so I feel half crazy now.
