Firefox is all I’ve used since about the time XP was released. IE still uses ActiveX, which was the reason I switched to Firefox, it allows webpages to install software without your knowledge or permission, ditto for emails. ActiveX is how the slugs of the Internet were able to start hitting people with viruses through emails. IE also has too many security issues in general. I won’t touch it.

I’m running a Windows 7 laptop, I went as far as to download Firefox on my sister’s machine and drop it on a USB drive to install it on this one, so IE has never been used on this machine at all. I usually keep it, but my copy was an older one so I got the newer version on her machine, using Firefox of course...

Seriously? You’re using Firefox and not Pale Moon?
