Me too, for a few years now. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year I will come across a website I have to use and it is has something special on it where Firefox won't work 100% properly and I have to use IE and I hate it.

In large corporations you have to use what you are issued. It takes nearly a year to do a regression test with a full set of corporate applications running in a new browser, and very possibly many code changes will be needed.

That is why, when they have spent the last five years coding to a specific browser, they tend to hang on to it. They don’t care for their employees browsing the public internet anyway.

Me too. But what really makes Firefox the only browser I use with the internet is the NoScript add-on. Before I got it (NoScript), I would manually turn on JavaScript only for specific web sites that I needed to use and that wouldn't work without it; but then if I forgot to re-disable JavaScript before going on to another web site, I'd get blasted with crap. NoScript fixes this problem.

I also have recent versions of Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari; but I only use them for testing purposes to make sure web sites I maintain look right on multiple browsers.

Me, too! I have IE 8 on this new computer we have and it is still confusing and too busy. I prefer to use Firefox which we have. Another child of mine also downloaded Safari. I am not sure about that one.
