Guys, thanks for the replies! Actually the thread went up, not including the poll that I set up upon it's creation. I haven't been able to edit this thread properly...No matter

Firefox.

Using anything else is just silly.

my thoughts exactly.

FF aswell 3.0 is supposed to be out in the next year iirc

Internet Explorer 3. Hell, I don't even have a forward button.

Hackers don't even waste their time with MY computer. :P

On my laptop though, I have Firefox.

Firefox. I have IE7, too, but it sucks in comparison, so it's just a backup.

I like the way firefox works, but it won't let me scroll with the touch pad on my laptop like it should, so I use it as a backup to IE7.

How much better is Firefox compared to IE?

Now that IE has tabbed browsing with IE7, I would say they are pretty equal when it comes to the basics. Someone who knows Firefox more in depth, could tell you some of the other things it has over IE.

Firefox is much more easy to use than IE7, if you ask me.

Firefox, and for only one thing, IE7 (it doesn't chime when I get a message if I use Firefox)

I think Firefox is better given the fact its extensions are more versatile. Heck it even has IE Tab extension. So if you want to open an IE supported page just click the button in the bottom right and Voila, you have IE tab in FF, no need to even have IE7 as a seperate browser.

I was using Netscape up until about a month ago when I started having problems with pages loading. Have been using Firefox ever since. I hate IE with a passion.

Everyone, thanks for the replies!

Sorry for the lagtime in responding to my own thread, but this week has been crazy...

Surprised at all the Firefox users. I use Firefox too, although it always seems to hang up, when I am viewing something important. On the other hand, it's the only browser that doesn't pick up spyware like a magnet

Does it hang up on Adobe Acrobat/Reader documents? Happens to me every so often.

Am I the only the only person who uses Opera, I have Firefox too but Opera is much faster.

So what does everyone use for thier OS?

I use Ubuntu Beryl with XP in parallel.

Firefox rules. Therefore I uses it with some add-ons.

Some add-ons are buggy and crash the browser...so ya gotta watch out for that.

IE sucks.

I use XP.

What version of Firefox are you running?

I'm running version 2.0.0.2 with J2SE 1.5.0 without incident on XP Pro SP2. I have noticed some of the themes can impact performance. Fusion Alternative 2 works well for me.

What laptop do you have? Mine works just fine with the Synaptics driver. Have you tried updating your touchpad drivers?

SeaMonkey 1.1.1 or 1.1.0 on my Windows machines, and SeaMonkey 1.0.x or 1.1.x on my Linux Machines.

I'd been using the Mozilla Suite for quite a while. I started using Firefox back when it was called Firebird, but as it was developed, some of the ways it did things changed, and I didn't like the way it worked, so I switched back to the Mozilla Suite. When Mozilla was abandoned in Favor of Firefox, and another team created SeaMonkey out of the ashes of the abandoned Mozilla, I switched to the SeaMonkey Suite.
