I believe firefox arose from the ashes of the netscape code.

You may want to try it out

I used to use it, and it was my favorite. But here in Seattle, every company I contracted at used IE as their default browser. I eventually made the switch even though I preferred Netscape.

BTW, Just before I typed this,I successfully accessed my companies intranet with firefox. I'm done with IE.

I use Netscape v7.2 on all my machines, with FireFox as a back-up, if needed. Their GUIs are very similar.

I switched to IE in 2002 because at that time I was still running a granny P(I) 150 MHz Dell. My Netscape Communicator 4.79 was extremely slow on all sites that use Shockwave Flash (and that meant most sites even in those days). IE's performance was much smoother and so I was forced to switch to MS (but still it was sluggish if you have multiple flash ads).

Now I have got a new computer, I'm not sure if I will keep using IE though.
