Well the main feature I use is that it's not IE.

I don't have to worry about it, spyware, vulnerabilities, I can open email in the mail client confident that some virus wont auto execute. So security for me is my main one.

However feature wise I really like the find as you type feature, which makes navigating easier with the keyboard. It's soo much better than pressing tab over and over until you get the right link.

The google search is also a great feature.

without clicking in any typing box, just start typing something.

An example would be if you typed "macodin" than mozilla would highlight my name you could then just open my profile right there.

You could type a news story like say

"apple reveals" and it would highlight the apple reveals g5 imac story and then you could open that link.

All without the mouse.

it's very handy.

Google Bar

Tabbed browsing (specialy that fact that a link opens in a new tab if u click on it with the middle mouse button)

view page-source (color coded and formated as opposed to IE that shows page source in a plain notepad)

Also not always useful but when u can find links on a web page by starting typing, the browser starts highlighting the most probable link which u can then open by pressing enter

      The auto industry really needs to update it's terminology so a software update isn't called a recall.

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
