I like Mozilla, but I still use IE 99% of the time. When MS finally gets something right, it is hard to beat em, as has been the case with IE.

I gave up on IE a year ago and went to Firefox. However i agree with the post above that mine has been crashing a lot lately. I am not ready to abandon it yet.

Love it! Won't leave home without it. If I run across a machine that doesn't have it, I install it (if I can). The only add-on I use is "NoScript".

Of course I couldn't run Internet Exploder even if I wanted to. It doesn't do Linux, and I don't do Windows.

I have four browsers on my machine:

    In my order of frequency of use:
  1. Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5 (most used)
  2. Opera
  3. Google Chrome
  4. Internet Explorer

Opera and Chrome are significantly faster than Firefox or Internet Explorer.

I love it - had to install the DoD Applications add-on to be able to access military webmail and websites, but since then, it’s worked like a charm. Unfortunately, I can’t convince the computer folks at my organization of attachment to install it.

Previously, I found Mozilla's Netscape browser to be buggy and unusable. I always uninstalled within a few days of installing.

Firefox, on the other hand, is simply stellar. It is my default browser now on my Windows, Linux and Mac machines. Firefox's extensibility is one reason-- I can use Foxmarks to keep all my bookmarks in sync, NoScript to enhance security and privacy, and Zotero to assist me in my research work. But moreover, of all the browsers I use (IE, Firefox, Safari...) it is the most stable when I load up a few dozen tabs. IE is hopeless in that regard; more than a handful of tabs can crash it. And IE is a porous to malware, and much slower than Firefox (or Safari).

Firefox is fast and solid and flexible and easy to use. I highly, highly recommend it.
