You truly are a moron. Maybe not EVERYONE likes tabbed browsing, but those that do like the fact that firefox has it and don't like the fact that IE doesn't. Think about it, I like Firefox's tabbed browsing, vast number of extensions, increased stability/integrated pop-up blocker, and other things. Yes, SP2 has fixed some of those things in IE, but not all of them, so why if the hell would I use IE over Firefox?

I am truly a moron because you dont use IE? WTF? You are a moron for not using IE!

Software, Apps, and Games?

I use Firefox because I find it to be a lot faster than IE. plus, the built-in pop up blocker is nice.

I guess the editorial teams at most of the publications on the planet, from the Wall Street Journal to Playboy, are idiots too for recommending Firefox.

You haven't provided any reasons why IE is so great. I don't see why you are getting so worked up about FireFox. It's a browser, not Al Queda.

I use both, depending on the site and how I feel at the moment.

It is all a matter of preference you tool, plus why do you really care?

That's because you're a windows geared whore programmer who can't code with out windows and color coding.

oh really...sorry if i prefer to program in the environment that my users will be in. Face it, only fatass geeks with no lives use *nix, and they aren't gonna be using any software that wasn't written by a *nix geek anyway, so why should I pander to their bullsh!t?
Hey no problem, cater to the lowest common denominator, your gf does.

OMFG!!! LMFAO!!!!

Guess you missed all the girls who use Macs. I work IT support at a university, and the art building with G5 labs is definately my favorite assignment :).

This is some kind of joke, right? There is no way you can possibly be this stupid. I'm saying you are a moron because you don't agree with the reasons people use another browser (such as tabbed browsing), and somehow you equate that to "they are stupid for using that browser". Maybe YOU don't like tabbed browsing, but I do...so you use IE and I'll use Firefox.

It's like this is fvcking rocket science or something.

I don't know if this will get your attention Felix but maybe people would be more receptive if you provided reasons for your contention - I'm waiting to here them

Did this turn into the P&N forum?

In the words of Dark Helmet: Absolutely Nothing! :D

My point was you provided no reasons for your assertion. I'd like to hear your reasons, thats all.

He didn't say "all idiots", but "only idiots". Perhaps he's just testing the water to see if he'll be comfortable switching to FF?
