Most firefox users are also Linux users, and zealots.
How can somoene be so worked up about a browser.. I use what came on the computer.
I think most Firefox users are sick of IE. It’s nice to have a choice, and I use firefox 90% of the time. The remaining ten percent I’m forced to use IE, and it serves to remind me why I like having an option to use something else.
There are also many people who would rather go on horseback than use automobiles. Suit yourself. ;^)
The number of Firefox users is about an order of magnitude greater than the number of Linux users, so I don't think your statement can be true.
I have nothing but Windows XP PCs at both my home and my business. On the ones I use, I have Firefox installed, because it works faster, is more intuitive, and lets me customize it more than IE. Having a browser that works faster and acts the way I want it to act saves me time, which equals money.

I would too, if I didn't find from personal experience that I can get something better for free. I was skeptical too, when I first tried Firefox two or three years ago. But its speed, size, and flexibility leave IE in the dust, in my experience. That's not being worked up - it's saving time and giving myself a more pleasant computing experience. And most sites are now Firefox-compatible - I have the IE Tab extension but can't remember the last time I've had to use it.
We have DELL PC’s at work and are requested to use FireFox...
Not me, I am barely computer literate. I have stayed away from IE and Word as much as I could. Sometimes a site will make me use IE. I have used firefox for about five years and I am going to go get some of those add ons! If I had more money and savy I would probably be a zealot.
