ESCAPING EXPLORER FOR FIREFOX FRONTIER

Well I finally downloaded Firefox. I have been hearing about it for some time from a few people but never had any inclination to try it. Also, I was afraid adding random software to my already overwhelmed laptop might prove fatal. However, one certain pain in my a$$ updated his blog and I could not view it on IE and not moments later I saw a headline on Fark about how great the new version of Firefox was. So there you go, I succumbed to the peer pressure and so far so good.

I was never dissatisfied with IE except for one feature which is that I can alphabetize my favorites when I am organizing them, but I cannot find a way to have them alphaed when I click on the link on the toolbar. That seems to be identical in Firefox, so no change there. It's cute and all, but I don't get the hype. Anyone want to clue me in on why this browser has people in such a tizzy?
