Why does everyone like Firefox so much?

[spA]

You make Firefox seem overrated and like it's so perfect. I havn't found anything i like about Firefox. I still think Internet Explorer is better.

Well firefox holds better to web standards, which is great for any webdesigner. Basically, if your design works in FF it *should* work with any browser.

It was one of the first slim browsers to offer tabbed browsing (opera has a massive footprint). It's totally free, open source, has a nice plug-in system, and has an excellent pop-up blocker (much better than IE's).

lol, a web browser isn't anti-virus. If you download a virus it's your own fault.

As 43 said FF is much, much better for web designing and graphics. For instance FF can display transparent .PNG images (PNG has the quality of a JPEG but has transparency capabilities) where as IE can only display transparencys if it is a .GIF image (has transparency capabilities but crap quality).

Also FF has generally more features than IE and is a more reliable browser.
