You know, that kind of demonstrates exactly what is meant by \"MI has more flaws than Firefox\".

Here's a fun one for you people.

Unless something dramatic happens in the last few days of February, this month will mark the first one in the history of Interordi.com where more visitors use Firefox over Internet Explorer, with a margin of about 5%. That browser sure has come a long way since it's beginnings!

...really? I'm kind of surprised by that, with all the IE hatred in this place Firefox wasn't the popular choice still? Man, that's weird.


Hey beautiful people, you're better off trying to e-mail me than message me on here.

Keep in mind that a large proportion of the visitors to the website never contribute to the board or anything else, but their statistics are obviously counted among the results. While the active members might favor Firefox, that's not the case for everyone!

Just to give you an idea, a few years ago, Internet Explorer had about 90% of the share while Mozilla / Firefox had about 6%.

That's still the case in about 70/80%+ of the internet still. Most of the webtraffic is an average of 60% user base is on IE.

It's quite interesting how IE holds its ground, but then again you have to think two thinks. Most users aren't tech-savy, and they think "if it works, why change?"

Not really, oh ho ho ho.

My parents also use IE and refuse to use anything else, causing me incredible headache since they get viruses all the time.

Until about a year ago, I only used IE. Over the course of several months, I started using Firefox little by little after my mother had installed it because she said we wouldn't get as much viruses then. I didn't like using Firefox at first, but I wasn't accustomed to it. Nowadays I mostly use Firefox and make use of IE when something doesn't work with Firefox.

So far, I have never, ever, used Netscape or Opera or whatchamacallthose.

I got Firefox when my computer contracted a virus that'd work its magic whenever IE would be run. So I got used to it once the computer was cleaned of the virus, and now I only use IE when I check my mail through MSN, or in the rare instance Firefox can't run something.

I haven't used anything else. Ribitta wants me to get Opera, though; he sounds like an advertisement for it whenever he does. >.<

Opera's a good backup browser, in my experience. I keep it around in case Firefox decides to mess up.

You know whats great about this though XD, one of FireFoxs' earlier updates (which was about err....a month or two ago) and beyond that lets you check your email at MSN.com now and you don't have to switch!

That wasn't an update made to FireFox. That was an update made to Windows Live Messenger in their latest version, which I now run.

They finally fixed that? It was about time! If I have a default browser, that's the one I expect to launch, not Windows's built-in one.

Umm... I've been checking my hotmail in FireFox for about three years now. And when you sign in, you've always had to include the '@' sign, meaning people with @msn.com addresses should have been able to do that, too...

That's not what was meant, God. If you check your hotmail through MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it'd open it up with Internet Explorer instead of FireFox. That, however, has been fixed in the latest version of Windows Live Messenger.
