Firefox for sure. For many reasons it's the browser to use. From time to time I still use IE for certain websites that have been designed to be used with IE. But for the most part I've transitioned myself to Firefox and Thunderbird (email client).

firefox works great after you do the speed update to it. it makes it load pages so much faster after you do that.
speed adjustment found

I've been using Foxfire for a couple months and I love it. I will never go back to IE. I love the built in pop up blocker.

Firefox comes highly recommended, I am looking at maybe using another O/S when I get my new puter
As long as you use Windows you can never c completely escape IE

, the "insert link" is the faint whitish icon IN the center center address box(i think that's what you call it) run your mouse over it,(on left side of addy box) it'llpop up "insert link" bla bla bla,,,

I didn't even know about that Jeff. I was talking about this button.
It doesn't work for me with Mozilla. I get a message that says "Mozilla requires that you must select some text for this function to work". What's up with that?
