Default I've finally given up on IE

and am getting used to Firefox. I'm liking it. A lot.

I gave up on IE about 8 years ago. I've been using Firefox for the past 4. It makes life on the web alot easier. Welcome sir, to the future of the Internet!!!

With IE I was getting a lot of runtime errors (whatever the hell those are) and having trouble with my yahoo mail. No issues now and plus it is cool to learn all the little features you can get with Firefox. I, for one, love the automatic spell check.

It was easy to switch, too. I just downloaded it. My regular yahoo tool bar is right where it is supposed to be with all my settings and bookmarks etc.

I hear people complain about IE all the time, but they are usually installing all sorts of stupid shit on their pc. I have 2 at work, and 6 at home and never have a problem with IE 6 or 7.

I got hooked on Firefox because of the tabbed browsing. I know the new IE copied that, but I haven't felt compelled to even try out the new version.

Have you used FF? Most people never go back to IE once they try it out.

It's not as nice as FF.


One fo the nice features with FF is the ability to resize text in most websites.

I only use IE when I absolutely have to (normally intranet at work.)

I have used a bunch of different Mozilla type browsers in Linux and Unix.

Eau de bacon is the newest fragrance to hit town, didn't you know that??

Can't wait to have a shower.

Not if you'd given up bacon for Lent. Then it would be cruel.

Totally agree. I even tried going to Firefox after hearing people say it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and after 2 days went back to IE.

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever get problems with IE6.

I switched to firefox last night after IE was so slow after installing my McAfee update. This feels soooo much faster. I finally got the bookmarks arranged and am happy so far.
