Opening and closing tabs are extra clicks I do not want to deal with.  Having all those damn tabs open all the time are a pain in the butt.  Exiting a browser that insists on asking if you want to really close down all those tabs is stupid.

It is frustrating to discuss as well.

The old IE6 user interface was simple and easy.

Browser challenged Skuzzy?   ;) :P :)

 
You do realize that you can setup or use firefox so that you have the choice to open a page in a new tab,or window. Or simply navigate there in the same window dont you?
You also can set it so that it doesnt ask you if you want to close all those tabs. It just closes them

I'll open links to a page in a new tab simply because I often want to simply be able to flip back and forth between pages and not have to deal with the page reloading every time I go to view it because its already loaded.
Sometimes when Im working on something I'll want all those tabs around for various information they provide at a single click that I dont have to look for all over again,but they take up all the space at the top. So I simply open up a new window which appears in the task bar and flip back and forth between there too.
Sometimes I'll have 2,3 or more windows available to me all containing tabs with pages with immediate info I can easily access.

I'd say its not the browser thats the problem. But the way its being used by the user  :neener:

I will say again.  I detest the user interface for all the modern browsers.  They are the most obtuse designs I have ever seen.  When you have to say, "you do realize.....", all I see is you saying, "well if you dig around enough you can find what you need, but it is not readily apparent and may not exist at all."

Learning to use any software takes some time, but when you have to read a book to use a browser, that is simply sad.  It is not a complicated task.

Oh, I am not the only one who feels this way.  It is bad enough there is a coalition of programmers working to build friendlier interfaces for some of these browsers.  The IE6 user interface is being used as the base model.  It seems most people are happy with that interface itself.

EDIT:
Showing me how to configure a browser when it is my Wife that uses it, is not going to help.  I am not going to mess with my Wifes computer configuration.

Some websites need you to have Microsoft Silverlight installed.  Silverlight is an add on for Internet Explorer.



Silverlight works with firefox perfectly. I should know, Netflix requires silverlight and I watch my movies on firefox.
