I've been using firefox ever since it first came out and was called Phoenix. I really like tabs and its much faster then IE. Although it has trouble rendering some pages....like one of those damn flash ads will pop up and cover everything and not go away.

firefox > opera > IE

Tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, security, plug ins...and so much more.

I havn't really used IE in almost two years I'd say. Previous to using firefox, I used opera exclusivly. I personally prefer something that I can use on both of my systems, as I typically work in Linux when my file server is working.

I downloaded Firefox last night and it did nothing for me, therefore, I switched back to IE

Alot of my friends are tellin me to move to firefox but I'm ok with IE. I have not probs with it other than the annoying pop-up blocker bar.

Either way my philosophy is: "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is."

Firefox loses the pop-ups, speeds up uploading times, and even looks cooler

I can't imagine ever using IE again

Maybe if they brought back "hacker" programs like Magenta and HaVoK I'd switch back to aol....hahaha

I've been a mac user for awhile now, before that strictly Linux. I lusted for OS X. BSD is an amazingly flexible base if you're not afraid of the command line.
