IE seems stable, lets me see EVERYTHING (tried ff a while back and had probs with some websites), i keep it updated so i've never had any security worries, and above all i guess i'm used to using it...convert me you ff fanatics 😉

Tabs are something you either love or you don't. There are lot's of great plugins for FF:

User Agent, Dictionary Search, FoxyTunes, ForecastFox, NukeAnything, Tab Mix...and more.

I like the UI more than IE, and I feel more secure.
 
Ehh ever since I figured out hotkeys in FF I can never go back to IE. Ctrl+T opens a new tab, Ctrl+L goes to the address box, Ctrl+L closes the windows. You can use FF easily without taking your hands off the keyboard. I don't think IE has any of that. That and the built in popup blocking as well as the optional Adblock plugin make FF invaluable for those who value ease of use and security.
 
Try the ieview extension. If the page is funky in FF, right-click the link and choose "Open link in IE"

It's great.
 
adblock alone is enough for me. I see NO ads on the websites I frequent. Also, almost no popups anywhere.

I only use tabs occasionally, but they're nice when I do use them.
 
Your missing the opportunity to have extension conflicts, extensions that slow your surfing down to snail's pace, the opportunity to tweak the crap out of your about:config file or else it runs dog slow as well, the opportunity to have to add everything to firefox before it can do anything. Other than that not much.



<------ sick of having to fk around with firefox. :|

Too true. FF has made me a convert to the utility of the middle-click. I've found myself middle clicking in other apps and then gotten disappointed when it didn't work. 😛

Also

ctrl+enter = www.url.com
shift+enter = www.url.net
ctrl+shift+enter = www.url.org

very useful 😀
