Who would use that piece of crap anyway when you have Firefiox ?

Firefox doesn't work with some links.

I agree kreed, but...

Users are forced to use it when micro$oft, and some other products do an upgrade, or call a browser, and they do
actually force you into it.

If it was up to me, I would kill the thing.
There should be a law punishable by death (or worse), against apps not using the default browser.

Perhaps direct an attack of the relentless Roddle-bot, or the recently discovered Godzilla Sea Monkey, against
non-compliant authors.

I assume that xp users mustn't install the new version. After all, one so called expert in that article claims 67 per
cent of corporate desktops are using xp.

Firefox still has bugs that make it unusable at times.

 

[Mick DaDik]

all,

Firefox still has bugs that make it unusable at times.

That used to be the case... but these days I havent found anything that
doesnt work that runs ok in ie... to a point that occasionally I get a
page not work as expected and I cut the URL into ie and it does the
same... My paranoia from years gone by has forced me into trying ie but
lately I have been very happy that Firefox is as compatible as ie.

I had to copy and paste a url from Firefox to IE for an insurance
quote site. Firefox ignored the link but IE worked, and that is not
the first time.
Having said that I do use Firefox as my default browser.

FF is constantly being updated to fix bugs that are not even
acknowledged.
How much does Mozilla pay people to pretend to like their product?

It is your problem when it happens to you.
Admittedly it happens less often these days.

I'm running w7, but if I were to strip IE out of it, what happens to apps that are looking for IE?

Like Mick, I usually try IE, if FF appears to have a problem, but generally don't find any real difference.

And when I wack web pages together, I always test on both FF and IE, and anyone who doesn't, is asking for future problems.

Been doing this since I was in short pants.

I honestly haven't done a list, but Microsoft updates do at times, and I know many posters could come up with a list.
Many "about" links also goto IE.

I know I get slightly pissed off when I magically jump to IE at times.

OK, I am running the other way, w7pro with virtual xp. works for me.

BTW what ever happened to the simple old:
