Comments on: Maybe Firefox is not so great, after all (?)

Mozilla's retention rate isn't great, but it's not cause for alarm, either. But work is required to improve.

Idea for Mozilla

Maybe they should consider partnering with companies such as Dell or HP to include Firefox on new PCs. This would give new computer buyers an easy way to try and compare browsers. I know many people who have said they haven't tried it simply because they don't want to take the time to install it.

Personaly I think that FireFox is better than IE..

But here is the problem. Most people don't get it with their computer and I only got my sister to use it once she was having a really bad problem with pop ups and hijackers. They just don't bother, or they were taught how to us IE and thought that it was such a hassle that they don't want to "relearn" how to use a new browser.

The only time I use IE, is when I use ms update to manually check for drivers. I don't think that I'll go back to using IE as my main browser ever again.

One note. They do need to get FireFox to launch a bit faster.

Maybe it isn't

I'm not sure, but when I gave Firefox a quick try (as a one step above novice PC user) I found I couldn't paste into my emails and a newsgroup function was not supported. Those were reasons enough for me to drop Firefox.
