this is quoted from my previous post about why mozilla owns:

REASONS WHY MOZILLA OWNS:

1-tabbed browsing-instead of having all those other damn windows open like you do in IE, you can either chose to open up a new window(ctrl n) or a new tab (ctrl t). Tabs are basically different pages within the same window, and you switch between them by the tabs on the top.

2-Built in PopUp blocking-No need for those god damn programs that don't work right. Mozilla has built in options for popup blocking so you can set it to only show popups that you request. In other words, they found some way to make it so every popup you dont want is blocked and every one you want comes through.

3-Ultimate customizability-Unlike IE, you can customized anything in Mozilla. You can skin it, change anything in the look and feel, but most of all you can change some settings that are quite helpful. For example, have you ever been to a site that you want to link an image from but has that damn javascript popup that says something to the effect of "no cheating"? Never fear. Unlike IE, disabling javascript popups does not require you to restart your browser or computer, but only to make a few simple clicks.

4-built in password manager-you can set it to remember all the values you fill in, and, unlike IE, mozilla encrypts all the stored passwords in uber-uncrackable encryption.

5-Intergrated mail, adress book, WYSIWYG editor, and IRC client-They're all awsome and I use them all (especially the mail client).

Want more reasons, feel free to ask.
