meh. If Firefox allows me to do everything I need. Why switch?

Are you going to stop using FireFox at the first opportunity you get?

Who, me? Hell no. I love FF.

The only reason why I even still use IE is b/c I HAVE TO in order to post news to Anandtech's front page. IE is required for our engine, so having tabbed browsing helps.

I would just like to have IE not lock up my laptop. It's the only proggy I found that does it.

I have firefox, but the leftmost text (buddies, forums etc) are always screwed up with text coming out of the frame.

Our text/document engine integrates with IE and no other browser. Same way you can't use ForeCastFox on IE :p

hmmm, the way i see it, if IE has 75%+ of the market, they are the standard.

how else would you define "standard"?
