The only adv. that firefox has is the multiple window tabs you can have. IE loads a lot faster than FF does in my opinion.

years of bug reports have shown that.. mozilla fixes its bugs, IE bugs may never be fixxed
plus the fact that IE7 copied firefox, that proves which is the better browser

it aint broke it works fine. I iwll use whatever browser is there to use. when i use linux I use Mozilla which is already there. No point peeing about downloading other stuff is there?

Because some of us care about our user experience.

But, seriously, I use the browser that give me the fastest experience and has the features I need - Konqueror on Linux, Firefox on Windows. I don't have CPU cycles or memory to spare. Even if I did, I like to have a well written browser that is fast and has no memory leaks.

Well, in my subjective experience, IE is faster, but generally also crashes more and is more open by default. If you use Windows, you have two alternatives:
1. Download Firefox
2. Lock down IE in all its insecured default settings, and trust yourself to do a good job of it

I know which is easier for me... Maybe when IE7 comes out, 2. will again become a viable alternative.

Really? I've always found that IE drags....

IE on Windows is faster for me than FF on Linux, on the same processor. Of course it doesn't help that I'm using GTK-QT, which is a horrible memory drag in its own right.

See, that's why you should use Konqueror.

Do you have some important extensions that you can't do without?

Slasher - when I first started using Linux (Mandrake 10.1) as my primary operating system, the default browser was the Mozilla Suite. That hunk of junk was so very slow. So, the first thing I did was get Firefox installed. Moral of the Story - the default browser is not the best by default.

Well I use Opera now, on both operating systems

What about everyone else? Do we all still use the same browsers?

Just Firefox and IE rarely.

I'm using firefox almost all the time. I use IE or FF with WINE if something I want to use needs it though.
