Well, yes, but Firefox does a better job of protecting you. You
can't really use your experience since you're knowledgable about
computers. IE7 is more vulnerable to attack, and for many people,
that's a serious probelm.
When people ask me what I use, I tell them
Going with Active-X as the method of delivering interaction between the
browser and the OS/user is one of the worst decisions Microsoft ever made.

Stop using Flash or invest in Dual/Quad core, LOL.
My 2.4Ghz laptop was 80% usage on userplane and 10% total on my 2.4Ghz quad

Flash is just poorly done both engine and apps, period.

Why Duncan? TESTING! If it's doing something screwy then it's time to test! Create a
shortcut to you firefox like this: firefox.exe -profilemanager, then create a new
acccount to test with. In the end you can switch accounts the same way. New account =
no improvement then the only choice is
J,
You could be right. I read what you sent, but frankly I understand very
little of it. Sorry; I could be a browser-noob still :) But,
even though I do not use tabs in FF, I still do like how FF operates.
I do need to go back in my records and see when I did start using FF.
Any browser with full functionality enabled by default is vulnerable since many
vectors are now the plugins/helpers like Flash Java.
1st rule of firewalls is DENY all and selectively enable what you need, same should
be true of browsers!

Browsing by default in IE means you're asking to be bent over as every helper app is
enabled by default.
Certificate store in FF for me is MORE secure since I have control over the folder

IE still dominates the browser market by big numbers. Most users are
not interested in or even aware of using other browsers unless IT or
a tech head introduces them to it.
Winterlight,
Just based on this share, I may test Opera. Thank you for not being too
techie in your send. I got it!
I test FF because I got tired of the Collective telling me how/how not to
lock down IE.
OK. I am getting ready to get rid of IE. Well, until my banking/e-commerce
