why do people make such an issue of the speed at least for me the difference is does the page load in 2 seconds or in 2.5 seconds. some sites load slow but that really doesn't have anything to do with which browser you use

Really, firefox takes ages opening!
Depends on your computer and internet connection.
For me, Firefox opens in about three seconds. If that is ages to you, you got some weird attention disorder or something.

If my internet browser takes longer than a second to load, I'm not happy.
If my game takes longer than 5 seconds to load, I'm not happy.
If my OS takes longer than 10 seconds to load, I'm not happy.

Not really, I can spare a few seconds of my life to let things load. Speed isn't everything, although it's natural for the average computer user to want everything to load instantly, weird attention disorder or otherwise.

Btw, Chrome does open in less than a second, and FF takes about a second and a half.

I like using Firefox 4. Love the speed and the new layout. It does have a slower 'cold start', but the browsing experience is smooth afterwards. Love the add-ons as well.

But the fastest goes to Google Chrome, most definitely.

Firefox is my primary browser. It boots up quickly and has a wide range of addons.
At times, I use IE9. That's only when certain sites don't work in Firefox, though.

I can't stand IE. In fact, I made an oath never to use IE again.
When something doesn't work in Firefox, which almost never happens, I just try Chrome. I made an oath never to use IE again.

Just like Vista, word of mouth has made IE appear worse than it really is. It's really not that bad. People just choose to ignore it because there are better options. I really don't understand when people say "I refuse to use IE at all, ever."

well mozilla firefox is open source, IE isn't as far as I know, e.g. updates come out way faster fro firefox than mozilla, also most people use IE(it comes with every pc) that means most virus' would target IE users, my 2 cents.

Because there are better options available that are easy to access? Why drive a Ford when someone gives you a Porsche for free and delivers it to your door?
Vista, I agree isn't all that bad. But if you compare it with Seven or OSX or Linux...

Simply because there are better options out there. Sure it's not horrible, but really why settle for it when there is something better?
