            a false sense of security is far worse then no security at all.

                Apparently, MSIE7 won't be backported to win2k or prior... so anyone using a slightly older OS is shit outa luck for security updates unless they switch over to firefox or similar.

                  Riiiight. The security issues are getting worse by the day. The more people convert to ff the more hackers and spyware idiots will convert as well.

                  Mark my words: Within 1 or 2 years its safer to use IE again since everybody will be using ff.

                          FireFox has ALWAYS loaded pages slower for me. No matter what tweaks have been posted. Even the updated version. Tabbed browsing. I personally have no use for that. Makes my surfing more cumbersome.

                              its great to see that black people are finally learning how to correctly use the internets.

                              Often times I wonder why
                              There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                              When sickness comes I must decide:
                              When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                yes, having one window open is MUCH more cumbersome then having 238482384238 windows open... :

                                    Well for me FF is more cumbersome. gee get off my back. if IE is easier for me to sue WTF business is it of yours. Yes I like using FF and thinking I'm closing one page and I end up closing a whole fucking tab and thus EVERYTHING is gone. I prefer having page opne in sperate windows. Now I know I can do that in FF, but why ot use IE when it laods pages 5X faster? In IE I know what is what. I'm not going to acidently close EVEYTHING. If I close the window that has GFY on it only that window will close.

                                      i can't wait to use IE back once Microsoft releases Longhorn (2005).
                                      there would be a possibility that Microsoft Developers will joing the hacking world and penetrate their way to the FF system.

                                      for the meantime, i enjoy using FF.

                                                      I switched from IE and prefer it for most things.

                                                      If you design with CSS it is a must to check out on Firefox - there are some stylesheet 'edges' than can get crossed and don't show up in IE.

                                                        Tried it, hated it. That's just my opinion.

                                                          Yes sure, but on the other hand non-css sites look awfull with firefox!
                                                          Try using bordercolor and things like embedded tables you'll see!

                                                          I vote against firefox.

                                                            Well for me FF is more cumbersome. gee get off my back. if IE is easier for me to sue WTF business is it of yours. Yes I like using FF and thinking I'm closing one page and I end up closing a whole fucking tab and thus EVERYTHING is gone. I prefer having page opne in sperate windows. Now I know I can do that in FF, but why ot use IE when it laods pages 5X faster? In IE I know what is what. I'm not going to acidently close EVEYTHING. If I close the window that has GFY on it only that window will close.
                                                            Just turn on the feature that says "hey moron, you are about to close more then one tab, are you sure you want to do this?" saves me from closing all my windows when my finger slips from hitting command-w over to the q key all the time. the only time i can see IE loading pages faster is when you are first starting up the browser. after that firefox blows ie away. warm up tiem is longer, but the ppm are much higher...

                                                                          If you are actually talking about BUGS, then yes. But I think you are saying BUGS when you actually mean EXPLOITS, 99% of the time, MS has a patch for an exploit out before it effects most users, alot of times before it effects any users... infact, most exploits are made popular through MS patches, rouge websites learn about these exploits by studying MS knowledge base and then attacking unpatched browsers.

                                                                          While I can't stand IE and its unconforming ways (it renders pages like shit), you simply can not honestly attack one of the best anti-exploit teams in the world. MS has 50 times the resources to handle exploit detection and protection over mozilla, and MS uses them.

                                                                          The only reason firefox
                                                                          s OSS model can fix BUGS faster, well, they dont have to worry about bugs creating bugs, if you use unoffical patches and if it fucks something up, tough shit... mozilla takes forever and two days to release an offical bug fix though.
