I've thought I was dumb because the latest version of IE is so difficult for me to use.
i’ve used firefox for years, altho’ i have ie and chrome available.
the latest editions of firefox 5 and 6 do not properly install.
opening a second window results in a window with two task bars and no google to type into.
fragments of previous windows remain on the desktop.
previous editions of firefox did not do this.
Thanks for a feel good story. I have never used IE. I’ve even tried to have it removed from my computer, but people technically more advanced that I am have said they couldn’t do that. I use Firefox. No complaints.
I was an IE user for years.
The first step was admitting that I had a problem.
IE is evil lol
You must be smarter than most of us then. *shakes head*.
I’ve been using Firefox 5.0 (Windows 7) with no problem. I have IE because it’s integrated, and only use it when I’m testing a new web page. Firefox has been my browser of choice for some years. No plans to change.
What if you’re using Mozilla Firebird 0.7?
Install? On what platform? I am running Firefox 5 on Xubuntu 11.04 and it works fine. Have had one upgrade on it since the system was installed and I like it like all the other Firefox versions I have used. Have been using Firefox since the first Windows version came out. Seldom use Windows though.
fragments of previous windows remain on the desktop.
That is odd. I am using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, having no problems. Seems to be working very good.
Why are people using other Browsers? I admit I am not at all tek savey. So why go to others....
on win 7.
the same computer that i had previous editions on.
Right....
Just like the studies that show FoxNews and Rush listeners are more stupid than the enlightened.
IE is the most commonly used browser so you’ll find all kinds of users using it.
Internet Explorer 9 is now available for Windows 7 users.
It’s great. Check it out:

Are you asking why people don’t use IE?
I have the same problem. It’s nothing more than a minor nuisance, no big deal, but it’s definitely a glitch with this version of Firefox.
Can’t be any dumber than people who use AOL as I.S.P.
With Internet Explorer you usually see the most stability, with Firefox speed and some new features and Chrome with spying on you (lol).
These always change when new versions are released.
No...I use it because it’s all I am familiar with. My computer is an HP Vista. I am not familiar with why others use other browsers though I’ve heard the names used.
What is the purpose of using other browsers...do they do something IE doesn’t?
And, let's not forget the most awesome part of Internet Explorer 9: World's Biggest Pac-Man
