I have just downloaded this browser and it seems to crap all over IE. Has anyone else used this,and if so, how do you find it?

Hi Mike, I use Opera, even paid for it, love it, but there are still some sites that only work properly with IE. I think you'll find the same with Firefox, so don't uninstall IE just yet.

I had a look at Firefox, but having already paid for Opera I didn't find anything enough to tempt me to change.

I now use Firefox most of the time, and only switch to IE for IE-specific websites

I have been using it for a little while and its great. As RB syas, You will need to keep IE becuase some sites, like the MicroSlough DirtyWindow Update sites wont function without it.

Yep, I have been using Mozilla Firefox for about a year now - much quicker than IE and nothing like the ad spam, pop ups, crashes etc.

Thoroughly recommend it as your main browser - but unfortunately with IE as a back-up.

Cheers

have been using it a good while now - agree with the comments - after a rebuild today from gremlins acquired while using IE... its gotta be better
