I've been able to get a few friends to use Firefox and I've also set it up on my mom's PC - mainly out of necessity since it is an old Gateway 300 and Firefox runs better on it than the other IE alternatives. I tried switching her to Thunderbird, (she uses old Eudora 3.05) so that she would stop complaining about her friends not getting her forwarded attachments (you have to look for them and attach them first) and that she couldn't see half the rediculous stuff her friends send her in html-formatted mail. So, one night I installed Thunderbird, imported her settings, emails, etc... but she FREAKED OUT - the interface was too different for her, I guess. oh, well, I put her back on Eudora 3.05 and she's happy camper again...
