I only use IE again because Firefox has been doing nothing but f'n up and crashing on me everytime I have tried to use it in the past couple of months. And yes, it is the latest version, so I don't know what the problem is.
I still hate IE though.
Did you try Opera or Netscape?
I had the crash problem a couple of months ago. I was about to go back to IE, but the latest version(s) of Firefox fixed that for me.
