Hey James,

I use FF at work and IE at home although I am getting more used to using FF at home. At work FF is the only option and I like it. There are some sweet options for Mozilla, especially the Reefland.com search utility.

Fire Fox:

Editors' note: In the original version of this review, we neglected to point out that Firefox has the ability to view blocked pop-up advertising and to selectively allow and disallow pop-ups from individual Web sites. We regret any confusion. (11/12/2004)

Mozilla Firefox is the dream Internet browser you've been looking for. Featuring a host of small technical improvements, including tabbed browsing, built-in and customizable search bars, and a built-in RSS reader, Mozilla's Firefox browser is the one that should finally put a dent in Microsoft Internet Explorer's unrivaled market dominance. While its lack of ActiveX support might prevent some sites from working properly, after more than three weeks of use in our tests, Firefox remained fast and stable and displayed an impressive range of cutting-edge browsing options. We were able to view every Web site just fine, thank you. If you're fed up with the latest Internet Explorer security patch issued from Microsoft or with the latest virus to capitalize on some flaw in IE, you should switch to Firefox--now.

Internet Explorer

Quote:
If you haven't already heard, the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 6 for Web browsing is available only to Windows XP SP2 users; all other Windows users are now frozen in time. Microsoft is hoping the privacy, security, and other improvements bundled into the latest Windows XP SP2 released will maintain its dominance in the market for another two years or so until the next version of Windows is ready. But small improvements and countless security patches for IE haven't changed the software's overall functionality much in years, which has given newer browsers such as Firefox an advantage when it comes to cutting-edge features and security. In our opinion, it's time for a new Internet browser. For cutting-edge technology and better Internet security, we like Firefox over Internet Explorer, but for various reasons, you'll probably continue to use IE at work for the near future.

I am asking the question because FireFox does not recognize many dynamic features currently available in IE or NS.

I think you'll like it. Like I mentioned in the Mozilla thread linked about don't forget to install your Reefland.com search utility.
