I kind of don't have a choice. I run Linux, and Firefox is about the only good browser out there.

I had Firefox on my old computer, which wasn't bad. I would use FF while parents would use IE. Only problems I found with it was that when it came to amimated adverts on websites like Gamespot, it would mess up to the point where I'd have to stop loading the front page to navigate.

When I got my new computer, I wasn't really bothered about what broswer to use and just used IE6 until the beta of IE7.

I think this elitist thoughts of IE being so useless is generaly silly and really like the console wars in many respects.

I use Firefox.. really, just because I like it better.

The computer I'm currently on at the sec, actually has problems running IE7. o.O

I just feel like it's slower.
With my old desktop, FireFox could run .gifs at normal speed, when IE would be painfully slow [Yeah, that computer sucked].
Firefox was reliable for me then, while IE really wasn't, so I've just stuck with it.
Downloads in IE also get stuck rather often, and don't in FireFox ;o

Samus reminded me. I like the download system. I haven't had a single download break down on me since I've been using Firefox, but I remember all too well downloading and re-downloading large files on IE.

I started using Firefox because I liked the tabs.
And I've just stuck with it since. biggrin OMO:
Same here - Also, elitists would keep on about "FIREFOX IS LYK BTTR THN IE NOOB"
So I figured i'd give it a razz - And kept it - I also find it faster, not sure why "_";;

And I can have a Gaia toolbar with Firefox ^^
