oh dont get me wrong, I like Firefox better then IE for functionality... the new IE with tabbed browsing is ok. FF on Windows is ok but i really dont think its as fast as IE, its nice and the features are great just dont think its as fast.
FF on linux crashes pretty frequently(the browser doesn't crash so much but when you open a new browser sometimes its funky) this has happened with a few different versions of linux.

Freaky--FF on my windows computer is WAAAAAY faster than IE.

I am at a complete loss as to why the makers of FF would not want it to be even BETTER with Linux than it is with Windows, but hey, if you say so. The only time I've ever had problems with FF was using a Linux-based disk to surf from the CD drive instead of the hard drive, and that was I think primarily because of slow drive speed and low RAM, not FF or Linux. But I don't have Linux experience yet. I'll take your word for it that it's glitchy with Linux and MS on your 'puter.
