I still use IE, tried Firefox and did not find it to my liking.

I have IE-7 on one computer and am just getting used to it.

Might download Firefox again and do a closer comparison between it and IE-7.

After 20+ years of useing MS products I have never had a problem or complaint (except for pricing).

Maybe becaue it's installed base is so much smaller than IE, so anyone wanting to do something malicious don't see looking for Firefox exploits not worth their while?   ;D

Safer becasue it doesnt allow Active X controls, which is also why most MS sites wont work with it ;)

Firefox is worth it for the "find" function alone.  When you hit ctrl+f, a little bar comes up at the bottom.  You type in what you're looking for, and it narrows down its search with each letter you type in-just jumps straight to the word, no opening the find window like in IE, no hitting "ok."  It may seem minor, but to someone who uses it constantly (like myself), it's fantastic.

I only use FF for downloading because when I download with IE it comes up saying that the Zip is invalid or corrupted.

and if it doesent find the word, it glows red, a nice addon me thinks.
