why do you use firefox scott?

also I apologioze for not stipulating I use windows no mac..
also can I re ask WHY you people are using Firefox?....what is special about it over explorer.

Several years ago I switched from IE to Firefox..loved it. Later switched to Google Chrome. Loved it even more. Then...my Gmail address book got hijacked. Google had no solutions. I closed my Gmail and uninstalled Chrome.

Lately I went back to IE...v8. Much improved.

I still have Firefox but IEv8 is doing the job and has a lot of added protection from previous versions.

Internet Explorer 8 [works perfect with Windows 7 Laptop]

Firefox on XP [Desktop]

Not crazy about Google Chrome...or Google Mail for that matter

Simply put, because it works. That said, I'm still running Windows XP.

Scott...
Absolutely nothing wrong with XP. I have been helping a lot of folks with computer problems. XP is still a reliable OS.

While Vista took a lot of hits...if you look carefully at Win7, you will find it is very similar to Vista. Frankly, I haven't found a lot of problems in either.

My prefs are still Win95 and XP

Eddie

Thanx for the detailed report,... that said .....I'm glad I asked

I'm using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit)...no issues, and nice to use.

I have IE 8, Firefox, Opera and Chrome and my Win 7 machine and use virtual XP for some older devices I have, however I mainly use IE 8 (Couldn’t get on with IE 9) which does pretty much all of what I want, with chrome as a backup for the odd site that IE doesn’t like.

On my Ubuntu install I use the supplied Firefox Browser which integrates nicely with the OS.

I also have IE 8 and Chrome on my XP install (Although I haven’t used the XP install for ages as Win 7 is so much smoother and nice (XP is still a good OS though)

As an addition (Although I never use it for browsing the web) my Abacus runs XP with IE 7
