As many on line applications only accept IE as their default I would like to know how you would allow them to accept Fire fox.

I used it for quite some time after a friend recommended it and went back to IE for it is more user friendly.

I use fire fox for all my on line use. But I have a few applications that won't recognize fire fox as my default browser.

I know I'm going to sound like a jackass, but it's a browser, right? I mean, I could care less (and use what you wish) but seriously, you type the URL and there you go.

Personally, I like the tabbed browsing and add-ons (adblock, no script, x-ray and the developer toolbar are indispensible to me.) But I find it stunning to hear a browser not be 'user-friendly'. Just surprised.

IE more user friendly? Only when it is run in the default set-up: With every security risk wide-open.

A lot of times "user friendly" is really just what we are habitually accustomed to. And even still, the few things in FF that require an extra step, well, I figure it is a reasonable price to pay for all the other aspects that are superior.
