trust me, make the change you will realise IE6 is in the dark ages, there is only a slight difference in FF's user interface but its easy to get used to. Having tabs to switch between sites is /so/ much easier. Plus you wont be a magnet to spyware which IE6 is.

I use both firefox and IE7 Beta ... have to say that I have loved Firefox/Mozilla for many years but I am starting to get tired of it ... it isn't all its cracked up to be and as for it being more secure than IE ... well yes it is but its also more annoying to use if you want to keep it as secure as it can be ... I have 2 kids and I have to let them use IE rather than Firefox as an ever increasing amount of kids websites either do not work or don't work properly ... and its a **** shame as I would rather they used Firefox...

IE7 is the dogs danglies by the way...

I use firefox on my laptop.

It's very slow sometimes, but has a lot of good features.
It has hung on me a few times too though.
Also a lot of web pages don't show properly.

:shock:

i think the browser used on the shop pc's was coded by one of my colleagues (i am not sure if its been changed since the last time i was in there), he also coded the online chat program that we reacently added to the website.

Firefox is fine but as stated does need a few upgrades to make it truely an IE beater.
I use it both in work and at home and do have a few issues with Javascript on Firefox, but that can be overcome with the update from the mozilla webpage.
