Just an FYI

My parents have starband internet. FF crashed their comp because it is not compatible with Starband. It screwed a lot of things up and they still have not got it to work right. It has something in it that Starband registered as a virus.

I'm in the same boat...for non-work apps (some that don't play nice with FF) I use IE6. Otherwise, I've exclusively used FF for a long time now.[/b]

you can use IE Tab for FF. Works great for me.

I've been using FF3 for a while. The only issues I have are the built in spelling checker lost some accuracy, and when I click a link to a picture from a Google image search, it wants to download the image, instead of opening the picture in the same window like it always has.

IE7 sucks. I hated what they did with the toolbar buttons. Like moving the Home button way over to the right. And the tabs aren't as good as FF. Can't close a tab unless it's in the front. Also can't reopen a closed tab.

I love where the home button is :P. I still like IE even over OPERA.

SAFARI is gay.

I think we all need to get together and have a big 'ol nerdy group hug. I can't believe we are talking this much about an internet browser......

Well, you figure....everything you do online for the most part is through the browser. It's our window to the internet. It's our cockpit in our car that drives us on the information superhighway. lol

haha i've been using tabbed browsing for i dunno how long in safari which i love...but dl'd FF yesterday and really love how fast it loads, but i read so many damn rss feeds i still default back to safari for the way they auto update in the bookmarks bar and show me how many unread items there are....plus it loads just the feed in the browser where as FF does it similarly in the bookmars bar, but when u click on the bookmark it opens a column list with the titles of the unread items...there's no way to preview it in the actual browser window

so yeah i dunno, we'll see how/if i migrate over to FF
