I love firefox.. but certain things aren't displayed properly and only when that happens do I switch back to my nemesis, IE 6..
A friend of mine has a computer that is incompatable to firefox because his internet is so fast.. that's the excuse I got but it sounds more like a lie...

Bah, IE works just fine for me. So far I’ve found no reason to switch. I mean, why bother switching to Firefox, and having to make effort to get it to do all the same things my IE can do. Why, just so I can feel "leet"? Um, no thanks. Even then I've found that it doesn't detect some HTML code, like the scrolling code on my site which keeps the backgrounds fixed in place. It's fine if some of you prefer it over IE, but don't hate on those of us who don't use it. There are pros and cons for either case. I don’t know, maybe there’s a really attractive feature I haven’t heard about yet. I’m willing to listen, but until I hear something I like, I’ll stick with IE.
I pretty much agree with Starnum here. Why go through the hassel of fixing fire fox when I can just use my IE 7? Works great for me.Starnum wrote:Bah, IE works just fine for me.

I use it for convenience. I have all my bookmarks organized into folders and they're set to drop down menus in the links toolbar. It also loads faster for me, I get less spyware and it is yet to shut itself down..
I have also noticed that it dosn't load some photos properly.. but that will probably be fixed over time.

But that clutters the taskbar. The taskbar's purpose is to store different applications, not as a way of storing the same thing but with slight variances. Also, currently (this is about average) I have 17 tabs, leaving very little room for anything in the taskbar. Tops I get is in excess of 30-40. Sure you can group them, but I *hate* that: it requires multiple clicks to get what I want. Not to mention with extensions, I can rearrange these tabs to follow a more logical/topical order and I can scroll through them with my mouse wheel.
Firefox's speed of development is much faster than IE's. IE6 was released in 2001 (or so says the copyright). IE7 development wasn't started until recently (last year I think). From 2001 to now, Firefox has gone from nonexistent to this. In addition, due to the extensibility of the browser, you can get features from future releases *now*.
The number one reason I like Firefox is that it is open source. It will never die because a corporation determines it is no longer profitable. I can also compile it myself with custom patches created by me or someone else. People even release alternative versions of it to run it on, for instance, a CD or a jump drive. Good luck doing that on IE or Opera.
Another reason that Firefox is superior is its standards support. IE6 simply sucks while no one knows what IE7 will be like. It makes web development super-ultra-amazing easy. Especially with the DOM Inspector, which I absolutely love, and the Web Developer extension.
In the end, it's your choice. I've been using Firefox since 0.6 and I've yet to see a reason to use anything else.

Well, I never have 13 windows open anyway, so that wouldn't really apply to me. I'm to compulsive and lack a short enough attention span to ever let that happen.LordMune wrote:
I just find that tabs in comparison to some of the negative traits, such as not detecting all HTML codes, to not be worth the switch.
Well, I'll have to commend you on that, because I'm not really exactly sure what you're talking about. I guess I'm just not "leet" enough, but that's fine by me. It's cool that you guys enjoy it, and I'm glad that it has useful applications for you, it's just not my thing. *shrugs*arke wrote:I can also compile it myself with custom patches created by me or someone else.
