Why are ones and zeros so complicated? Linear Video Editing was easier. Downloading & streaming are two different things.

I tried Firefox for awhile but it was a pain in the A$$ switching from one browser to another (like mentioned earlier, most sites are made for IE and won't work correctly on Firefox) so I got rid of it and only use IE6. If you know how to set up IE, it is just as secure if not more than Firefox. I have zero problems running Internet Explorer. My only complaint is having to use Sun Java instead of the old MS java in IE 5.5 which is no longer supported.
I'd like to check out Internet Explorer 7 but MS won't let me run it on Windows 2000. -

Firefox... I like the tabs and the various extensions and themes available. :thumbsup:

Legitimate websites won't exclude non-IE users (in other words, potential customers). If they do, then there's a reason why - they're probably up to no good. -

Like I said, I have no problems using IE. Check your temp int files and see what kind of crap is getting inside with your false sense of security.
Now that Firefox is getting so popular, they are as big a target for hackers as anyone else.
Right clicking a site is a pain
This is becoming less true. Firefox is increasing it's market share. It does not make sense to construct sites for only one browser. You would be limiting your possible audience.
As for the tabs and all the different add-ons in Firefox, I didn't like any of it. I like a browser that works just the way it is without having to add a bunch of stuff to it and I like the small size of my IE toolbar without all the extra clutter. I would rather have 20 IE pages minimized in my Windows toolbar than a bunch of tabs taking up valuable space on my screen.
That's just my preference. Everyone else can use Firefox if they want. -

If you have the ieview extension installed, you can right-click the site and view it in IE. This is handy for IE only sites.Believing yourself to be secure only takes one cracker to dispel your belief. -
There are advantages on both sides. I like like stock updates, but through the company I'm invested in I cannot view them on FF. Must use IE. Does that mean the company is less secure, most likely not if it's a financial company. You're basically getting into a debate to the likes of Intel vs AMD, Apple vs PC, etc. It's not that at all. Granted IE is out there more and has more accepted programs, there are advantages to using FF. Even if all the programs went to FF, there are still advantages in IE. I know people who use the Netscape browser for various advantages. Should it be streamlined? There's both a yes and no answer to it. YES, there should be a streamline for people to access general information. No because depending on the company or business you are, you want to cater to the clientel that visit your site.
In the end, I feel that there needs to be a basic line across the board so the average surfer can view general content depending on the browser they use. I will say companies that are technology or software based often migrate to FF. It may fall into a scenario that depending on what you are looking for online will determine what browser you should use. You can always have multiple browsers too. I have IE running for my stocks, but use FF to browse. I have Netscape too, just as a back up in case something happens to the others. -

There's a number of sites developed in Microsoft Word (by people who don't know any better) and then saved as HTML which play havoc in browsers other than IE. A lot of these are mom and pop businesses with completely legitimate intention -
K-Meleon - it's small and the fastest browser I have used. I got firefox and IE on there just in case but over 95% of the time I use K-Meleon.

Here's a comparison of the new Firefox 2, IE 7 and Opera 9 browsers.
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1990850,00.asp
Nobody is going to change diehard Firefox users minds that their browser is far superior to everyone elses but IE users who switched to Firefox for security reasons might want to consider going back to IE with the release of IE 7 and seeing what all that Opera 9 has to offer, it's surprising that this browser is not more popular. -
