internet explorer or mozilla firefox

Firefox. When I was forced to use IE for a moment it was horrible comeback .

Opera is missing here - I am trying it out currently and it's really nice alternative.

Plus Julian is right (not strange!) - another "fav browser" thread...

I prefer Firefox but I use Internet explorer. The reason I use IE when developing is that this is still the browser that most people use so I have to make sure that everything works fine in IE. I then go and make sure it works fine in FF.

Hopefully one day I will be able to do it the other way round.

It's funny that you say most people use IE because for a while over 70% of the hits that I got to my website used FF and less used IE. But I just had a look at it now and it seems to have become around 51/49 (favour FF)

I use Internet Explorer hence I voted for that one, although I do think FireFox is better. However I'm used to Internet Explorer and FireFox doesn't feel quite the same.

i preffer IE, although i test all my sites in Firefox and Opera, IE remains my old big love :P

IE, Im a big ms fan. love all their products especially mce2005

Stereotype--not true.

(I also like the FF logo a lot better then IE)

Lies--just because it works in FF does not mean anything when it comes to how it works in IE.

Your websites don't seem to be too big? And it is dependent on that you could be attracting the same people that are on the FF bandwagon. You shouldn't base fact on opinion



I have to support IE. It's a classic, and it works perfectly fine. I don't have a problem with lag, spyware or viruses. Perhaps because I don't try to download everything I see like most people. :P

I stopped counting how many times we've had this discussion, first 1-2 times (about a year ago) were interesting debates, now it just gets old.

FFFTW

Firefox. ditch IE, it's useless.

Sorry, I meant to add in developers, so most of the developers that hit my site are FF users. And Yes, I would be attracting FF bandwagon of people.
