I'm not endorsing Firefox, per se, but if you are using IE, you are definitely dealing with attacks , I no longer see.

Reports are that Microsoft's next full IE release (not a point release) will be for Vista only (hopefully that's old info and they've regained their sanity). If so, it's the best gift third-party browsers could ever ask for...

I'm not endorsing Firefox, But why FireFox, when the full Mozilla loads faster?

Hilarious.
Internet Exploder just blows - it's just a virus-transportation system, like that piece of crap Outlook.
I use Firefox, of course, like most intelligent folks, but anything is better than IE. Did I mention that IE blows?

I also use the MSN Toolbar (http://toolbar.msn.com/) which has tabbed browsing. Still don't see what the big deal is about that though.

So, what do you think of IE? ;o)
He asks as he posts from tab #2 of 4 currently open in his Firefox browser.....

"falling from 8.7% to 8.1 % in July..." = "demise" ??
I don't think Mr. Bill is losing a whole lot of sleep over it yet, but a fractional drop like that hardly qualifies as a "demise". I just love reporters...

If only Opera was willing to deliver a competitive price...they could rule.

Not true. IE7 will ship on XP and Vista. And nobody will give a spit.

If only Opera was willing to deliver a competitive price...they could rule. The free version has the ad in the upper right and is not that annoying, but I finally bit the bullet and bought it. The license is good for Windows and Linux and on every computer you use. It has the tabbed browsing that Firefox users like, as well as "mouse gestures" that let you navigate almost intuitively.
One feature I appreciate is the magnified screen effect that's easier to accomplish than on IE.
To: Bush2000
I like firefox, but it's been crashing a lot lately.
I think I need to reinstall windows xp just get IE back up and running... it crashed hard about a year ago, and never does boot up any more...
But Firefox does everything I need a browser to do.

IE7 will blow too.
Unless it sucks.
It could go either way.
To: Bush2000
I really like using FF been using it for over a year now. But my favorite is Thunderbird. i love getting RSS feeds. i check them out many times during the day and most of my favorite bloggers are right there in my email. if outlook has this feature ive never unlocked the secret to it.So I will stay with FF and Thunderbird. oh and im posting on tab #3

If you have no trouble with IE, that's great and maybe one day I will come back to it; but for right now, no way. My extremely secure system has been breeched too many times through IE.

Certainly not 8.1% (and fewer, every day) of you. LMFAO!
