Oh yeah, Mozilla was heavier than IE, which was heavier than Phoenix/Firebird/pre-2.0-Firefox. Plus FF had a popup blocker built in, which was huge in a way that's hard to appreciate these days. Very quick to start, pages (at least seemed to) load faster, no more popups which were like 99% of ad-annoyances on the web in those days, and tabbed browsing, all free and open-source with no ads in the browser itself (see: Opera). That's what sold it, originally.
