I've been using Firefox 1.0.7 and it has been pretty good. I'm slowly moving my stuff over from IE 5.0.

Are there any other updates to the program that are noticeable? Not that it matters, as I don't browse the web on my PC that often, but I will do the upgrade when I get around to it.

It does seem pretty fast to me, much faster than my browsers have been in the past. Hopefully it will maintain that speed.

The speed is nice, but there are a couple of minor things I prefer in the other browsers. I guess no browser is perfect. Overall, though, I do like Firefox better than IE or Safari.

A couple of the things are that when you open a new window, it opens it almost on top of the one you are in, instead of in the upper left corner like IE does it. I'd rather have it in the corner of the screen. On a couple of websites, the entry box for entering data is too small, but I think that might be a scripting problem or something. It isn't like that on IE, though. Maybe it was designed for that website with IE in mind.

Would there be extensions for those kinds of things?

I do like the popup blocker, though.
