Glad to see other people using T-bird! I use it and love it,

Me too !

I use Thunderbird for e-mail, and Firefox 1.0 is my web browser.

IMO, compared to Firefox, IE sucks.

But I still prefer Agent as my newsreader...kind of hard to beat, IMO.

I second this. Firefox is sooo fast page to page. The other cool
thing is that I come up with only a small fraction of the spyware
components on my computer when I scan it after browsing around with
Firefox vs IE.

The best part of Firefox? All of the cool extensions. How cool is
the zoom feature? Maybe you can zoom with IE, but I never figured out
how to do it easily (with one or two clicks). Seems like such a basic
feature that should have been in every browser from the beggining.

I have smooth scroll for reading all those papers effortlessly. So
nice! And google preview which matches a picture next to search
results (nice for me since I'm at 3 mps or so it doesn't slow down
load times and it is usefull for returning to the correct page).

So many extensions, so little time! Any others that people have found
particularly useful?

My dad, who refuses to upgrade his old computer, and refuses to use
IE, just got Firefox as a replacement for his NS 4.7 and he loves the
upgraded version as well! Seems to run pretty good even on his
clunker with dialup.
