Firefox all the way. I switched from IE6 about three months ago, when I got my laptop, and I love it.

Yeah, about that, does the News tab overlap the Reviews tab on your front page too?

I've been using firefox for a couple of years now. Think I got it the year they began running it. All the schools in town use it to.

I'm using firefox 3.5 (beta 4) right now, but I don't really think it matters very much unless you really want a bunch of useless add ons. 3.5 is getting annoying though because I keep accidentally pulling tabs into new windows.

Of those I prefer Firefox, but my favourite of all is Opera, although it doesn't seem to be working well right now.

No, but it has a habit of jumping back pages every time I press backspace. Also it will teleport me to random places on the page when I'm writing a quick reply.

I've been using Google Chrome ever since it came out and don't have any intention of going back to IE, though I still use it from time to time.

IE I would never consider using.

FF was good for a time, but seems really erratic and unstable of late.

Opera is a masterpiece, but it's strict adherence to HTML standards makes it impractical, unfortunately.

Chrome is very stable, but way too simple- 9 out of 10 things I wan't to do, I can't, because the option is JUST NOT THERE!!!

Safari can suck my fat one- I despise Apple products and their proprietary and inferior nature.

Firefox. I only started using it a few months ago and I'm glad I made the switch.

Between those two? FireFox. No ads. Which is why GS hates it so much.

No, but it has a habit of jumping back pages every time I press backspace. Also it will teleport me to random places on the page when I'm writing a quick reply.

I sent this to you in a private message but I'll put it here for everyone else to see as well.

Open up a new firefox window, type in about:config and then in the search at the top type "backspace". You'll get a prefence name called browser.backspace_action with a value of 0. Change that value to 1. If the value is a 1 then change it to 0 instead. You will never again experience going backwards on a website while in firefox.

I never use Quick Reply so I wouldn't know, but I'm pretty sure every browser does the backspace = previous thing. IE was the same. It's annoying, and I couldn't find a way to disable it :(

EDIT: Well, thanks a lot AustXilo. That took care of that :)

Switched to firefox about 2 years ago and never went back. THe new IE8 has some pretty sweet new features, but I'm sticking with Mozilla for the time being.

I use Google Chrome unless I'm TV.com. For some reason, the site doesn't work well on Chrome. My alternative is Firefox. I prefer that over IE.

FireFox has been a ***** for me recently so I'm thinking of switching to Opera or something else. I've just been too lazy to set anything up the way I like so I keep coming back to FF.
