OOZ do you use firefox? If so, have you experienced any problems with it?

Agree. Firefox is sweet.

Wizer, the only problem is that sometimes you find sites that don't support Firefox. Beside this, no problem at all!

No issues whatsoever, my friend. Although you can't just print pictures with a right-click, you have to save them first.

another BIG vote for firefox here! It is the *****! Loads of well though out plug ins and its light-wieght, fast, SAFE, intuitive, nicely designed, customisable, doesnt need to be installed for anything else to be installed... the list goes on and on and on.
Did i mention safe? Ive never contracted a virus, a malicious active control with firefox. My spyware software is now all but redundant (cleans up cookies only now). It tells you when you need to update it, and its fast and easy, no restart needed.
As for imcompatibilities with some sites, these tend to be very few and far between and not properly designed in the first place. If you really need to, you can always open that site in IE (theres even a plug in which will do this automatically for you).

Weaknesses?? not likely...

Whats not to like about it?

Spatula... tha name brings back memories from so many years ago, it feels like childhood

(Hiya!)

Be advised that IE7 is still (as it says in the title) in beta stage. There are still some serious memory issues, and some new MS proprietary DOM

as well as some new CSS extentions (yay!). They do have a nice shiny new DOM navigator and a nifty RSS reader...

I'm still sticking to FF, because it's more rigid than IE and if it works in FF, it usualy works in the other 'modern' browsers.

Heya Saintaw ol' buddy. Havent seen you in the MA since being back. Was wondering if you still played. What you flyin these days?

FF rocks!
