For the first time in my life Safari is not in my Dock and FireFox is set as the default. I am really enjoying using it. I espcially like the exentions. The I use a lot it Foxy Tunes to control iTunes within FireFox. A simple but essential part of browsing for me is listening to my iTunes. Patrick, it has been a little over a week since you posted this, are you still enjoying FireFox?</p> I too officially made the switch to FireFox 1.5 when it was released.

I use browsers in a way where the services feature doesn't matter so much, so for me, Firefox could be a viable replacement for Safari. However, my loyalty to Apple usually keeps me on the Safari side of things. After all, it is an awefully nice browser.</p> <p>Version 1.5 made me testdrive Firefox again and wow, is it ever fast. It also offered to import not only bookmarks, but also my passwords, and cookies - so running it was a seamless transition from the 'gold standard' on the Mac. Just like you I enjoy the themes and extensions. AdBlock is one of my favorites here. So Firefox will definitely earned a spot not only in my applications folder but also in the Dock - and so far I find myself using it over and over again. I also installed 1.5 on all work computers, giving my co-workers the choice. 1.5 is a winner, and remembering times where a browser was hard to come by on the Mac, it feels great to have a choice of two great browsers - and plenty more to choose from.</p> I am glad you brought this up, Patrick.
