Default Mozilla firefox

Sorry if this has already been discussed.

Is anyone on here using it instead of Internet Explorer? Is there a benefit or is it not worth it?

cheers

Used to use it but changed back to IE. One of the big benefits is all your browsers contained in one so you dont end up with 10 open and clogging up your bar.

Also Active X blocking I believe as well, someone correct me if thats wrong

I changed back though as it seemed very slow and I was getting a lot of delays with browsers opening

I use mozilla (same as firefox I think), only ever go to IE if something doesn't work properly in mozilla. Tabbed browsing rocks...

I've been using FireFox for quite a while now. There are some great extensions for it. Wouldn't want to go back to IE.

mozilla is loads better but you do get some pages not displaying correctly as the majority of pages have ben created to be IE friendly first
