And Bill Gates donates millions to abort babies in Africa through the UN and Planned Parenthood International. I guess all MS users love to aobrt poor african kids right?

Avant Browser looks "too busy" for my taste. That thing has more windows than the Sears Tower!

Don't forget that the Acrobat plug-in takes forever to initialize.

Firefox has its problems, but it's still far better than IE. I especially like being able to easily write an extension to change the behavior any way I want.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

I never liked PDF files. To me they're bloated and clunky, and Reader 6 is crash prone, and I surely don't like how they force that goofy "my Ebooks" folder in My Documents, so I'm sticking with 5. Since it plugs into IE I just use IE when needed.

Because of the Java problems I've stayed away from plugins for Mozilla in general, only using Flash. I don't like Flash either, because it can sometimes be a CPU spiking mess. For about the last month I thought my trackball was going bad on me, because single clicks would turn into doubles, dragging wouldn't work smoothly, or even at all for several moments, but it was intermittent. I did a reinstall last Friday, (something I just like to do every now and then), and waited a couple of days before reinstalling Firefox, in case the problem was related to 1.01 just coming out, and just today put the Flash 7 plugin back, and so far no problems.

Mozilla has its ways, but so do other things. I can't count the times in two days where in IE that idiot box would popup asking me if I wanted to install and run the Flash plugin, and until it first loads into the cache you'll sit there on a dialup wondering what in the heck is on that site and why won't it load? People must be getting some kind of kickback from Macromedia. ;)
