Similar problems here. I use Firefox because it's more secure but I wouldn't throw IE out from my computer as I don't know when The Fox gets moody. I voted for IE.

If IE works at home, so will Firefox. If you have it installed on your home computer, uninstall it (edit: firefox, not IE). Get the latest version of firefox and then re-install it. When you start it the first time, one of the dialogs asks if you want to import the settings from IE, make sure you give this a yes and it should work

The ones which Firefox took from Opera, is that? Wink Well, not plugins, but tabbed browsing anyhow!

Aol Exploer is the best.
its easy and simple like INternet exploer, but has the multiple tabs system.So i can be on PA forum, Myspace, Dt.net froum, and porn all at the same time
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I voted other, in the absence of Safari. I use Firefox as well.

The ad blocker in FF is certainly better than any other browser I've tried.

Well, for a start Firefox has tabs.
And a load of good plugins such as FireFTP and ReminderFox.


And Firefox has the Adblocker extension, which means I rarely if ever see ANY ads on a web page.
Plus I use Linux at home most of the time so IE isn't even an option.

Firefox sh**s all over IE. The moral of this story is, get Firefox, you will know the difference.

Except...
its ability to let silent installers install
allow popups
same engine as file explorer allowing hacks to affect the whole OS
no tabbed browsing
totally vulnerable to trojans

anything else?
