I use Firefox on my Linux box (right now). I usually use IE on my windows boxes....I've given up on security with those...I patch and patch and patch....If someone still hacks me, oh well.

There's a pretty big firefox movement on this forum, which I think is largely due to the low, low barrier of entry (free = good for hot dealers)

It's mainly because IE has not been updated in years. Would you rather have the new hotness or the old busted up sh*t?

MyIE2. Firefox doesn't touch MyIE2 for nice tab features. Sure the tabing in Firefox is nice.. if you've never used tabing before, but once you get used to tabing with MyIE2 its hard to go backwards to Firefox.

I install firefox on any computer that I'm going to use for more than 30 minutes.

Only been using Firefox for a few weeks (Since 0.91). It's excellent! Before the SP2 days, I had to add the Google Toolbar to IE for blocking popups and the Nutshell toolbar for searching various sites, but Firefox's little searcher is so convenient. And center clicking links to make new tabs, now that's excellent! Adblock is lots of fun too :)

OTOH, I prefer Outlook Express to Thunderbird. And Outlook 2003 runs like molasses.

IE. I have no need for Firefox.
I use IE, and I made my own little here's why

funny you say that, necause i as well have dual monitor goodness, however even at 3200x1200 when you have 9 browser windows upen adn a few programs you cant read what the taskbar saye and i end up licking on every one to find the page i want

with tabs you can always read the page you are on and you taskbar stays clean, for programs, I also hide the taskbar

also IE is slow as sh!t compaired to Opera and FF
