Internet Explorer Vs Firefox

[OEM_guy]

I once was quite fluent in IE, security settings, a restricted sites list that covered most threats and everything was fully tweaked and went smoothly.

Then about 3 years ago I tried Firefox.
This kid hasn't looked back since!
Now I run across folks who need assistance with IE and I can barely recall how to setup what they need -- so much easier to just switch them to Firefox.

As to those pesky IE only sites - somebody else can view them as this surfer is so very not interested one iota.

Conversely, I loved the old ff, hate the new one. Had some odd issues that weren't present before in ff, and went back to ie, hate ie7 by the way. Ie6 it is.

IE 7 isn't slow...

and F1 defender is built into vista (thats your adware/spyware "proggie"


i like IE7 but i installed the AVANT! face (it's a skin of types with MANY features)

I just tried FF 2.0, I don't have any major concerns, just that I can't seem to get flash movies to play in FF2.0

IE 7 sucked my computer into BSOD's, IE 6 did the same thing... "THEY" don't want me to use 9x windows :P I use ie 5.50 with no scripts for several years having to click on the "no no" scripts message on every page transition so that I could use scripts on one or two trusted sites. Now I'm getting malformed cookies that cause my pointer/cursor to stop responding until I delete that cookie... very strange cookie.. also alot of new web code is not backward compatible with standard html browsers and has code that may cause system instability, such as the bsod that I recieved when trying to view haylinders photobucket flv video, and one other video posted by F1 at the same place... Their web code is not compatible with old internet explorer??? but it works the second time around??? why would it only NOT work on the first vissit??? perhaps it's a cookie/temp file issue that disapears once there is a photobucket cookie in the cache...

Hello members.

I have been using firefox for long time now. And I think this is best browser. I used some of others like Green and it is fine too. The Most I didnt like was Opera.

Firefox for sure. I have use IE for about 6 years, but happened to start working for a company that uses firefox, and now I will never use Explorer at home again. Thunderbird is great too.
