 And might I add...everything seems to work on this site with Firefox! (unlike some sites I won't mention)  I never use IE anymore. If the site has issues with Firefox...it just wasn't meant to be visited.

I hear ya. I still use IE at times but am using FF more and more. And your right, a lot of sites don't do tests on different broswers, but I am happy to say that this site works 100% in IE, FF, Opera and Safari.

FireFox is more secure, stable, and has lots of highly useful free add-ons.
I couldn't live without my search extensions.  I also used one of the RSS applets written for FF (to get massive amounts of news and blog feeds) for a bit ... but now I find myself using FeedDemon more and more. FeedDemon and FF play nice together.

It is less "buggy" than IE, things display more accurately. I like the built in google search (maybe one day I can write a plugin for a Reefland search right in the browser) and mostly like that you can have several websites open in teh same window with the Tabs.

I use FireFox. I like the tabbed browsing. There are less security problems than with IE, but with the increased market share has come increased attention from the bad guys. There have been some vulnerabilities found recently.
Sadly, I must say that our company extranet site has some problems with FireFox. It was written using .NET and uses ASP. Go figure. On the other hand, we had a problem on the same site with SSL that only caused a problem when using IE. |

Yup it was... Just took me by surprise! I tried "thunderbird" too, with my reefland mail settings and it gave me an error, saying the SMTP server could not be reached.. Oh well.

Search Plugin Created...
For anyone that's interested, I have a search plugin created for Mozilla that will search Reefland.com.
I have put in the request at Mozilla to have it added to their download page, until then I can provide it manually.Edit: Here is the link to download the Reefland.com Search Plugin for Mozilla Firefox Users. http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.h...search+plugins |

Well, all I can say is that they don't call it Interner Exploder for nothing....
 On the other hand, I'm sorta used to it and how predictable it is for me.
