UF7, i think what you meant to say is that Firefox doesnt support half of IE's bugs. As MChart said above, Firefox is the most compliant CSS browser around, IE is the one that cant handle CSS properly...its just a big pain in the ass. Everything you do must have at least a ton of IE work-arounds, bah.

UserFriendly - Been smoking some pot lately?
As [MRT] said It's not Firefox fault, but the coders and their tools. And I don't understand how you can say that Firefox aint supporting half of IE features. What features? A silly popup blocker and ActiveX? The popup blocker is relatively new and ActiveX is a pile of shit as it allows spyware to be installed easily and opens the possibility for the computer to get hijacked.
Firefox has for example lower memory usage, themes capability, better popup blocker, adblocker, bandwidth tester, better bookmark manager, faster webpage loading, correct displaying of "correctly" coded sites, tabs... The list could go on forever. Another things to add is the stability and security. When IE crashes it takes the whole shell down in the fall. And that's not really so funny when crashes with the browser are pretty usual. Firefox is also much better equipped against worms, hijacks and so on. There is proof of it, just search Google.
Opensource is also a big important part when talking about Firefox. It allows you to compile it for whatever machine you feel like, especially good when you're using Gentoo or another source based distro.

i find ff a good brower. with plugins like all-in-one gestures (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/marc.boullet/ext/extensions-en.html)
along with tabs makes it a lot easier / faster than IE. also i find many of the similarities between the two are bettered by firefox. for instance the search function (ctrl+f) i use this a hell of a lot and its much faster in firefox. Other things i like are "view image" when it doesnt quite load properly, also page info goes into greater depth.

I <3 Firefox but 2 things do bother me:
1.) www.gamershell.com flickers like crazy for some reason.
2.) every once in a while i get a pop-up.
i guess that isn't too much to complain about but are just some minor nuisances that I've noticed.

1. Yes I agree! So damn annoying. But I think they are the ones to blame for. They must have coded that site very wrong.
2. I never get popups. I don't know if it would make a difference but I use Adblock. 0 ads. It simple rocks.

I've got adblock also and I still get the occasional pop up. I'm talking very rarely though. Like once every 2 weeks. I'm trying to think of a site where it happens...

Hmm, you must have some kind of spyware of something that is launching the popups from Windows (I pressume you use Windows). Try to do a scan with MS antispyware.

No popups there either. I forgot to say that you should check your popup settings. There are several settings that should set how popups behave.

If you're getting popups get Adblock and the Filterset.G adblock list available from here:
http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/
I get no popups whatsoever with this setup and I browse a lot of porn sites which utilise the latest in annoyance technology.

Which features are missing? And recall you said half of IEs features, that means if you mention 2 then IE onlyhas 4?
