Is that a new browser? Never herd of firefix? Does it fix firefox or something?

was using IE for about a year until -DT- pointed me towards the light and haven't stoped using firefox since. I also stronglly recommend to every IE user I know to change and become faster and safer.

I've been using IE for ages now and firefox hasn't convinced me not tiny bit to switch to it... I never have any problems with IE - the (startup)speed is a lot faster than FF (since IE is integrated into windows and uses same shell as explorer), neither any safety issues...

to be honest, the security problems in IE are overrated, unless you are going to go on dodgy russian porn sites, and click every link you are ever given, there is no reason for viruses to be installed on your system.

nah not viruses just spyware, ad aware, malware and all that stuff that slows down your PC.

I find a combination of firefox and zonealarm are a mix which stops all that.

I agree with saralk, also if you set up all IE's activex and cookie settings properly you wont have much of a problem<i>

you know what i meant.

People only get malware because they click yes to every popup they see. The only reason you don't get them in Firefox is because they are disabled. Which is a stupid way of saying that its more secure. When germany was split into the east and west. The Russians could say "look, no-one is leaving east-germany, we are so great", when the only reason they weren't leaving was because they couldn't.

Yay! Another browser war thread... just what this forum needs.

I use FireFox - it works, doesn't crash my computer, has tabbed browsing, is cross-platform compatible (I use Linux and Windows) and has lots of extensions and plugins. Not the mention the security.

Internet Explorer plain sucks. The free version of Opera is ad supported (and I don't like the way it works anyway) and when I used Netscape it didn't display webpages nicely.
