To those who can't handle the firefox "issues" I would agree that at first FF had issues loading some things. Recently though I can't think of any site that has given me issues or not worked properly.
Some educational and webware just won't work in FF - Smynx teaches for an online school whose grading/submission interface fails in anything shy of IE - blame the dotNET back end if you like but it's not an issue of anything other than the platform and not a user error. There are a few online accreditation/certification courses you cant test on outside of IE as well. Which I think is a monopolized shame and certainly not a credit to those who developed and coded it (in their deflicted noncompliant way). Certainly I don't fault Mozilla/FF for that - but you can't blame the user for the lack of compliance in those cases.
Tabbed browsing though is something you just cant go back from!

The new IE will carry that feature ;) I still think its a pos though. :D
Re: Search Engines and Browsers people use
I agree there are still some things mozilla doesn't work with and MS wouldn't have it any other way. I to work in education, almost 10 years now and FF works with alot more things today then it did intially. I think that was my main point...not to make end users out to be lazy..sorry.

The IE View Extension allows u to right click on a page not loading correctly in FireFox and quickly open it in IE.....
Re: Search Engines and Browsers people use
yep I've used that for a bit its quite handy. Even will open up as a tab "within" FF.

In most cases it's because webware programs use ActiveX for client side work instead of using that little scripting language no ones ever heard of... oh what's it called. Oh yes, Javascript :P. Personally, I refuse to go to any site which doesn't support either Firefox or Opera, especially commercial sites. Could you imagine if a brick and mortar business decided to ignore 20% of the market share out of pure lazyness?
On that note, I use Firefox, Opera and occasionally use Safari when I'm testing (the life of a web developer :D).
Re: Search Engines and Browsers people use
Firefox and Google.
Occasionally I have to resort to IE to get a website to work correctly.
I get stuck with IE at work (ick)
Re: Search Engines and Browsers people use
I used to use opera a while back. I used it because I had a slow dial-up and was saturated with web images, and opera allowed me to use it without loading all the images that took forever. it was ok I guess.
I use linus as an OS, and I'm not sure what the other things are. I think I use Konquerer and firefox as browsers, and I use google and wikipedia for search engines.
Re: Search Engines and Browsers people use
I just went to Mozilla Firefox today as a result of this thread. A big thank you to the members here that mentioned it as a nice browser...what a huge difference from how IE runs on our POS computer! Still learning how it is different from IE but it seems to be much more efficient and just plain old faster. Thanks everyone! :)
