Firefox RULES!!!!!!!11111111eleventyone

I just got rid of IE 7 for Firefox. I love the tab feature, Firefox is so much faster, and prettier, erasing stuff from the history is a breeze and the spell checker makes me warm and toasty inside.
I keep asking myself why I stayed with IE for so long. I came to the conclusion that I am a moron.

When making a web site, web designers usually don't even take IE into consideration anymore. Can't even handle transparent PNG files.

That's balls.

I never take IE into account anymore when designing my websites. I hold by the official HTML standards and cross check it with the validator at W3.org. Page is entirely error free, I get a green light for the coding, Opera and FF both display it fine, and IE has trouble with tables, image sizes, making the entire website look messed up. It's almost hilarious.

If it blocks something there's usually an option to unblock it...

I more used to IE than I am to Firefox. For some reason, I just can't get the hang of it.

I got Firefox when Nortons screwed up my computer's ability to deal with all things Flash. That fixed it right up, but didn't help with my MSN games.

I had to do some stuff on my mum's computer the other day and I have realised that IE7 sucks major balls. And not in a good way.

My only issue with firefox is that it occassionally freezes for several seconds whilst loading multiple pages.

There is a good way to suck major balls? Unless that's a gay joke involving the army.

I would use firefox, but you know... Tabs piss me off. Is there just a window option or do I have to open everything as a seperate window? Otherwise I'm stuck with shitballs IE.

I have been informed that OddBlog appears incorrectly in IE. The only possible reason it could do this is if IE adds 70% and 25% and arrives at a figure greater than 100%. Yes, IE sucks, blows, and just generally whaplodes. My only other option would be to CSS some nice ‘display: table’ attributes, but once again IE is unable to cope with them.

It’s no wonder that IE popularity is plummeting when it can’t even display websites properly.

Well, I just downloaded Firefox. I was happy to see I could import my bookmarks to it from Safari. It is a little faster, though not by much.

I use Firefox.

Simply because I'm computer illiterate.

Specifications are just pretty words to me.

Firefox is the only internet browser i use now and I only use IE if FF is acting funny, which mostly only ever happens to me.

Sometimes it's handy to use both. For instance, I have two gmail/google groups/etc accounts and I keep one logged in in either program. So the one I visit regularly is logged in on firefox and the one I only need to check once a week or so is in IE.

One thing that does piss me off is that when I take my laptop to uni, I need to change the proxy settings in IE also because many programs take them directly from IE. Even if I'm using the Quicktime plugin in Firefox; it won't work until I update the IE proxy settings.
