It's funny about Firefox ...I downloaded and fired it up ...and I always forget to use it. IE is just there and easy. Is Firefox that much faster? I thought all the graphic bells and whistles were a little busy. I like plain and fast lol.

If the system is too busy, then it is also possible in Internet explorer what you encounter in Mozilla Firefox.

Maybe your system is too busy at that time.

In my opinion I prefer the new internet explorer 7, it seems to have many of the features of firefox with more security. I will switch back to firefox when Mozilla gets updated and meets IE7.

Hi Joe,
Is the IE 7 released already? I am just curious because I am also interested with it. These is more advanced.

Not quite sure what the question is here, but I'm with the Firefoxers. Version 2 is absolutely fantastic. They've corrected my only gripe with Firefox too - that it wouldn't save the tabs you last had open. I'd much rather use Firefox, with the IETab plugin for testing purposes, than expose myself to the vulnerability of Internet Explorer.

I am now using Internet explorer7 as my web browser. ItÂ´s nice and fast. I am very contented.

firefox is very good and fast, i used it as my main browser but there are some sites like ebay that you start having problems, i think some sites must be optimized for internet explorer

IE 7 is a copy of firefox, they have started using similar rounded icons and the opening of web pages in diferent tabs is there as well, just not as slick as firefox
