I saw on the front page of a magazine, can't remember which, saying "stop IE security issues" or something, and sniggered "ditch IE is the easiest way".
Can't see why anyone wants to use IE, FF rocks.

I think the speed is one of the most over hyped things about Firefox. I have Firefox installed on my PC but I hate using it - for the simple reason that it takes so bloody long to start up - 45 seconds, compared to the ultra fast 6 seconds IE takes to start up.
Another thing I hate about Firefox is its rather 'violent' processor usage. Whenever it loads a page, it the processor usage shoots up to 100% and causes any playing music to skip. Although IE does the same thing, it doesn't cause music to skip.
Call me cynical, but I think this is a way for AOL to take over the browser market - after all, AOL did invest quite a bit in Mozilla.
