I like FireFox 2.0 new advance feature "Check my spelling as I type" . It's nice. No more misspelling when I post message to forumit seems I.E 7 does have this feature.

I like Firefox 2.0 much better and the little graphic in the upper right hand corner showing the page is loading is nice to watch. I just noticed that they had changed it. The many add-ons that can be gotten are extremely helpful too.

Firefox 2.0, hands down.

[juck]

Firefox 2.0 is the best browser for me so far. No contest. IE7, I believe, will continue to be plagued with security issues.Even as I write this post, I learned over the Net that issues are already starting to come up.

IE7 looks like complete and utter crap. It lacks several key features of FF and is still highly exploitable. There are actually a few exploits patched in IE6 that appear to have been reopened in IE7. Way to go MIcrosoft, I wonder how long it will take them to find out about these bugs. Firefox for me, now time to leak the exploits to milw0rm......--bmwboy

I like Internet Explorer 7 simply because I don't like firefox. No reason needed, just personal preference after using the two browsers.

[Informatyka1]

Obviously that better it is Firefox 2.0. But as yet pictures do not load :{Because it is beta version

[phillypa800]

i've used IE7 for about 1.5 weeks now and i can't stand it. so to make me feel better i installed ff2. me likes ff2 much better. IE7 has smelly bugs and i don't plan to use it much. awww phewy!

SeaMonkey pwns Firefox and IE7.

[Phenom]

I would go with Mozilla Firefox 2.0, but there are some pages you can't view in Mozilla Firefox than you can in Internet Explorer.

Just use the IE Tab extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozil...g/firefox/1419/

[techie4fun]

Firefox.

[mcbarker]

FirefoxIt's smallerIt's fasterIt has no ActiveX support (without plugin)My wish: To be able to completely uninstall Internet Explorer.

Seems a lot of computer owners prefer this, however, was wondering if any of you have encountered problems using your MSN Messenger, along with it?? I would like to try FF because, like the consensus, IE sucks. If there iisn't a problem using messenger, then I think I'll try FF ... f one doesn't like it, can it be un-installed? Do you install it, then ignore IE and use FF w/o overlap program problems? Inquisitive minds wants to know. lol Thanks in advance! You guys are great!:)

Do you install it, then ignore IE and use FF w/o overlap program problems? Inquisitive minds wants to know. lol Thanks in advance! You guys are great!:)Firefox installs painlessly and easily. It coexists with IE with absolutely no problems. There are still a few websites out there which aren't fully compatible with it (usually because they require ActiveX plugins to display properly), but those are dwindling. There is an IE plugin for Firefox which will allow you to run those sites, but since IE will still be on your system, you may as well just use IE for those sites (Microsoft Update comes to mind).When you first run Firefox, it will probably ask you if you want it to be your primary browser. Answer yes if you want it to be used whenever you click on a URL. You can always change your mind, and revert to IE being your primary browser by changing the settings in IE's Tools menu. If you find that you don't like Firefox, it's very easy to uninstall. It will alert you when an update becomes available, and will ask you if you want to install it... Again, a very painless experience. It is smaller than IE, runs faster, and is more secure than IE because it doesn't use ActiveX plugins. It's free... Try it. There are also many free Add-on tools, so you can tailor it to your needs. The ones I use are Fasterfox (which causes pages to load faster), NoScript (which blocks potentially harmful scripts from running while browsing), and DownThemAll (which is a pretty good bulk downloader program). As with all software, you should read the instructions before installing).:)

IE 7 doesn't get nearly enough credit for how much of an improvement it really is, and I have to say that if I was using Windows I would use it over Firefox without a question. I really like the interface of IE 7 better, as it is a very minimal UI that leaves the maximum room for webpage viewing.I also think that IE 7 has tabbed browser implemented better than in Firefox 2. I like how you don't have to go to the file menu every time you want to open a new tab -- it's right there at your disposal. Quick tabs is a really nice feature too, especailly when you have a lot of tabs open like I've been known to do.Another great thing about IE 7 is the obvious: compatability. It's very rare that you see a site that says "This site will only work in Mozilla Firefox". This make for less frustration when browsing the web.I like how the favorites menu is improved in IE 7 also. The little star next to the tabs is a great way of handling it so that it is always conveniently at your disposal, but not needlessly taking up space in the UI when it's not needed like with's Firefox's bookmarks toolbar.I used to have a lot of fun bashing IE, but I can't do that anymore now that IE 7 is out. I think it's time that Firefox fans start to give credit where credit is due. If you ask me, Firefox is the most overrated browser available right now.

Just choose firefox.

[Jimbob]

Fire Fox is my preferred Browser. It performs flawlessly, does what I want it to do, and does not do anything without my permission...Plays well with others. The add-ons add 'ease of use' to many tasks. It never disappoints me, I will remain faithful,,,JIMBOB
