    Default Firefox vs. IE

    I honestly didn't do this just to start a versus thread, I really want to know your opinion. Just pretend that this is the first one in a long time.

    I just got Firefox today, and I'm liking it. I always thought it was terrible because the only time I'd seen it is in the school when they had the oldest version they could get.

    I'm noticing a neat spell check thing that didn't happen in IE, but I've also been told that the putting your name in the color brackets trick doesn't work in Firefox.

    Example:
    Jesse1
    OMG
    NOWAI

    Firefox is superior, although its legion of fanboys (there you go, whoever it was that whined about me calling them fanatics in the Staff Forum. You're not even worthy of having your name remembered! >:o) make me want to stick nails into my eyes. Or their eyes, both work.

    I prefer Firefox, because of I like Adblock and the themes and such. :]

    And that attachment is just to remind you all. ;]

    Firefox mainly, but if I’m in a hurry, I’ll use IE. Opera makes webpages look like they have Down syndrome, so I only use that browser when there is a particular feature that I need to abuse.

    The ability to customize and otherwise tweak Firefox makes it most appealing to me.

    I like being able to chose what I want, and how I want it to operate.

    I share this sentiment.

    Firefox may be superior, but I am not the type who cares whether or not his browser does anything out of the ordinary. Besides, I can't get YTMNDs to sync properly on it, so I just stick to IE.

    I like Firefox because I like extensions and themes. I only use IE if I want to compare how a site compares in the two browsers, or for one of the few holdout sites that require Active X.

    There's just a few minor things that bother me with Firefox, things such as certain images not showing up, or certain codes not working properly.

    All that looks white to me

    You could also install the IE Tabs extension for Firefox :p. It renders a page opened with Firefox using IE's rendering engine :p.

    I prefer Firefox because of the nice features and such. I never used bookmarks before I had Firefox. Also, I dislike how Norton has a toolbar or something rather on IE. >:o
