I use it all the time.
 
 Downloading with Firefox can be a pain sometimes, however..

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
 [dbmssocn]General network error. Check your network documentation.
 
 /include/header.asp, line 49
 
 That's what I'm dealing with this morning.  Seems the underlying SQL server at the hosting farm had some sort of malfunction.

Luckily the SQL server ain't my problem but that of the hosting company.  I don't even have access to it.  Still got to listen to everyone cry about it though.

Firefox is great, as is Thunderbird.....though they are both still beta.  Hell, even their new calander app, Sunbird is pretty nice (though could use some work)

for real?  i love the dl manager...the few times i have problems, 'r-c save as' always werks.
 
 haven't tried .9 yet since .8 is plenty fine. i think i can wait for 1.0.  the weak point of ff for me is having to reinstall the newest flash/shockwave with every version.  other than that, i spread the gospel of the good browser.
