Contrary to the fact that it may have been a serious issue, this so-called person made me "chuckle":

Well, I really do like IE (but I'm very cautious about where I surf to :wink: )...

I like IE as well (even though I've been a Firefoxer since it first came out). It was just the way he said his comment that made me laugh.

I must admit that the improvements made to IE in SP2 are certainly an improvement.

I do like IE, but have given it up and moved to Firefox. True, SP2 improves IE a ton, and it's a very nice and usable browser, but Firefox just has so many more customizable options. If IE ever had tabbed browsing, I might switch back.

It can if you load Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/) :wink:

Yes, but Janak finally convinced S. Snack to switch over to Firefox because of the "even better" tab handling. And if S. Snack thinks Firefox is good, EVERYONE should. :P ;)

I have Firefox installed, but I still seem to go back to IE every few weeks (the last was when I had the problems with that spell check program - and I'll be playing with that again this weekend)...

That's right, and I was using Opera, which has "even better" tab handling than Avant Browser! Which makes Firefox's tabs "even even better". :P

:rotfl: ;)

Seriously, I tried Firefox three times (well, Phoenix and Firebird several times, to be precise) until it stuck (was using Mozilla before that). It's a matter of having your fingers learn the controls so that it feels comfortable.

I also like IE and used it for many years ......................



.....but (there's always a but isn't there) with the recent round of security nightmares causing problems with online banking I finally gritted my teeth and moved to Firefox. Now I am asking myself why I didn't do this before, tabbed browsing is the way forward. I love being able to open up Firefox and have Geek.com, PocketPCThoughts.com, The Register, Slashdot etc open as my home page each in it's own tab.

I would only move back to IE now full time if and only if they introduced tabbed browsing into the program core (not as an add on).

Search for Spellbound. I don't know if it's on the Firefox site. It's slicker and seems to work on the first install. Though I went through the convoluted process to get the other one working, so that may have helped.

Hmmm... O.K., I'll give it a shot!
