Default Firefox vs Internet Explorer......

I'm not familiar with any other browsers, but wonder what Firefox is like?

I was trying to install a program from a Flash-link earlier unsuccessfully and it appears to be the Flash element that is preventing this. The Live online help suggested I try Firefox.

Good idea or not?

Ive always been a big fan of firefox, especially the tabbed browsing, but most of it is now incorporated into IE now anyway, and IE seems to be better at rendering pages with minor HTML errors on them.

So now im happy with either really.

Loved FF when I was a PC user. Try Safari.

I use IE and Firefox, as some sites work best with each.

Yep Firefox for me too. Being using it for a while now. Opera is another browser worth a look. IE is just full of probelems and security loopholes. With Firefox you can customise it as well with themes and plugins.
