It installed something called "quality feedback agent" which sounds too much like spyware to actually be spyware, I hope.

Anyhow, the site looks normal now, happily.

FF rocks. I've been using it for a while.
As for the feedback thingy, I don't have that...
Run Ad-Aware and see if it flags it as spyware.

Quality Feedback Agent is not spyware. It submits a bug report to the Mozilla developers if it happens to crash.

Oh, and Mozilla is better than FireFox.

Firefox is not Mozilla. It is only loosely based on the Gecko engine and the Chrome UI. Mozilla is the true browser.

Eh, I prefer Firefox. It more closely resembles IE, which I would be happy with if not for certain major annoyances like reloading images over and over, abundant security flaws, etc.

I used to like Opera. Its good too, but since I have a Compaq, some software conflicts happen ( cd burner quits.) I didn't notice a big difference between Mozzila and FireFox, but I'll take Merlins word for it.
Just about everything is better and safer that IE

Are you implying "Oh, you need details" or "Oh, you have details"?

Heh.

Edit: Or are you surprised that I even bothered to elaborate in the slightest due to the commonly-accepted notion that IE sucks?

FYI: Just today, a new version of Firefox was released. The browser has gone from 1.0 Preview Release to 1.0. It seems even faster than before to me.

Haaa, I prefer Mozilla. i like the shortcutbar in it, + it's much faster then IE.
Only bad thing is the update procedure.(simple, there isn't, just remove old version and install new).
Oh, didn't install the Chatzilla client either. I prefer mIRC.
