Firefox all the way. I've been using it for about 3 years now ever since my cousin told me about it. It's WAY better than IE. I can't believe how long I was using IE, and how I never knew about FF. No viruses, no spam, no pop-ups, awesome tabbed-browsing, and more speed. I REALLY like it more now since IE7 came out. IE7 confuses me and crashed my mom's computer when I installed it when it first came out. Whatever. Firefox is amazing. <3

Firefox. It's way safer, notifies me of sites that could be attempting to be fraudulent by making a name very similar to a legit site. It also has the potential to go significantly faster than IE.
see: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts ^Speed up firefox. Downside: Some programs only use Internet Explorer. I use this thing called WebCT for my university which is basically a class login to take quizzes/view grades and it acts buggy on firefox and won't work until I use it a few times on IE. |

I use WebCT for my school as well and firefox works perfectly fine on it. |

I hate IE with a passion.
Until recently I used FireFox. It's not as good as it used to be, so I've switched to a new browser which isn't well known yet. It's nice and simple which suits me fine. It's called "Maxthon" You can find information on it here: http://www.maxthon.com/ It's doing okay for me at the moment. There are bugs and such, but since it's not widely used it's expected. I prefer it to FireFox. For now, anyway.. - James. |

I'm unhappy with the new IE. I'm using Firefox right now. I guess it kind of grows on me, but I miss using my SBC Yahoo browser. :/

@Rachel
Yeah it works perfectly fine for me too now. Whenever I reformat my computer though, and have to re-do everything, the first times I start WebCT it always freezes after the log in phase. I just load it in IE, close, then proceed to use firefox for it from that point out. |

I'm one of those that still thinks Firefox is a dirty word; but I do use it for cross browser configuring when I'm designing.
I guess IE is socially ingrained into us. |
