I heard a lot of praise about this so I started using it too. I ran into problems like freezing and stuff.
I'm not sold on it. I went back to IE.

I've been using firefox for quite a while now. I like it for the security so I don't add a lot of the plugins. I just use it for casual surfing and online banking and such.
When there are meadia files I just have to see or hear that don't work, I just use IE to view 'em.
Firefox has a lot of trouble with some of the stuff I do at work too, like administering network hardware through an http interface. I just use IE for that stuff as well.
Surfing with firefox will really cut back your spyware hassles for sure.

I refuse to go back to IE permanently, but there are several sites Firefox just cant function properly on
in situations like that I just use an IE alternative, such as Avant Browser

Avant is nice... Opera and Flock also do a better job then IE..... but IE7 drops soon and from my beta use it has some real nice functions..... e.g. tabbed browsing, one touch history erase.... also IE7 will run Windows Mail Live.... basically Hotmail version 2....
but for now FF kicks ass....

I have found FF to be slower loading pages than IE (and I haven't tried Avant yet), but I have noticed than when we're having database problems on this site, FF works better.

Just download this. It lets you associate any media player with various filetypes. Therefore, you can even use it to make custom media players your default.

Make sure you run the configuration wizard.
