I have been using FireFox on a serious basis for just the last month or so. I never had much of a delay loading pages before with IE so I can't truly say FireFox is faster. But I do have to agree that the add-ons available with FireFox make it a great tool for downloading. DownThemAll alone makes it an incredible tool.

For those of you with more experience with FireFox I want to ask which add-on in your opinion is the best one for downloading and converting embedded video files? Especially flash files like those on YouTube.
