  I've used Firefox for many years. I estimate about five. So much better to me.

  I'm on a Mac, so Internet Explorer hasn't been an option since Microsoft stopped updating it for Macs a few years ago, which was just as well. I keep two browsers going, Apple's Safari, which I use for most things, and Firefox for a few sites I use heavily that Safari doesn't handle as well. The two programs work very similarly, so it's no problem switching between them, and it's really handy to keep TUSCL and a few other sites always accessible in a tabbed window in Firefox. BTW, as I recall, Firefox first became available in pre-release form about three years ago.

  I used Firefox for years. In the last few months they had an update problem that didn't work with my pc. I stopped using them and returned back to IE. I don't know if they fixed the problem yet but haven't bothered with finding out.

  CG: If you are talking about the problem with playing some video content it has been fixed. I would check it out. Firefox is so much less aggravation than IE. I've also heard very good things about a browser called "Opera" but I have not checked it out as of yet.

  I'm an IE guy, though I DO have two websites that I venture to occassionally, which will not work using IE. For those sites, I use FireFox 2.

  Firefox, because IE is somehow linked to the secret cabal trying to control us all.

  Shadowcat: Thanks for the tip about the spell checking capabilities. Even though I am a pretty good speller (IMO), it IS definitely nice to have the spell checking, just in case I suffer from an intermittent dumbass attack, from which I've been known to suffer, occasionally.

  DougS: I will never win a Spelling Bee but most of my misspelled words are typos. Underlining them in red sure helps me to correct them before I hit ET.
