Firefox, its web standards compliant, and doesn't have as many vulnerabilities.

I use FireFox i have heard its the best.

So I am assuming you can have IE and FF on the same unit? Can you run them simultaneously? A kind of "test drive". (On a windows 2k or XP machine that is).

Why not try them both yourself? It doesn't hurt to have two different browser brands on your computer and one as the default.

yes you can use them simultaneously, its like playing solitaire and hearts at the same time...just you have to choose one as your default browser.

Thanks to both of you for your insight. Will give it a test run for sure.

Deighvid thanks you too!!

Hi people.

First point is that questions should NOT be 'tacked on' to old topics. Your questions deserve a new topic of their own, and will be better addressed if that occurs.

Second point is that this is an old topic which was initially misplaced and has now been 'resurrected' from the dead. Questions are best dealt with in the appropriate forum sections, and the appropraite section for this topic is 'Web Browsers' in TechTalk. In that section, you'll find a pinned topic which links to a detailed guide to installing Firefox and configuring it as your default browser. You'll find plenty of assistance in that topic!


Now that this has happened, I'll move this topic to the appropriate forum section, but in future could people please be careful to locate their questions appropriately?

Cheers

I use firefox as much as possable becuase it is faster at loading pages than IE and it has to deal with fewer security threats than IE however, it does have a down side: firefox can be hard on a slower computers processer. The only time I don't use firefox is when IE must be used (like for Windows Update, Microsoft Mulitplayer Zone, and other things of the sort). I give IE an ok 5 out of 10 and firefox a well deserving 9 out of 10.
