For all you Firefox users, I dare you to use Internet Explorer for 1 day. The first 5 seconds you use it, you'll get hit by a pop-up. So take the dare, use IE for a day. |

I don't get pop-ups. Maybe IE likes me? |

I haven't used IE in months, and I'm happy to say I don't miss it at all. Firefox is 100000000 times better. |

I use Firefox at school and IE at home, and Firefox so owns IE. I just can't download it on the compy at home because it isn't mine. |

So take the dare, use IE for a day. That's not quite as true anymore with the advent of Windows XP's SP2 (which finally gives Internet Explorer a pop-up blocker), but I still don't much care for Internet Explorer. Also, I must be the only person on the entierity of the forums that uses Opera, given how much I hear about Firefox this and Firefox that. |

I don't really see a huge difference between IE and Firefox. Firefox loads a bit faster, but that's it. It seems like a waste of space on my compy to me. Oh, dear God, I fear I may have opened the gates of the Inferno with that comment... |

I take it you've never tried middle-clicking on a link in Firefox? |

Midddle Clicking? Could you explain this Do you mean Right clicking? |

Could you explain this Do you mean Right clicking? Well, you see, modern mice have what's called a scroll wheel. If you don't have a scroll wheel, then you're missing out. Anyway, that wheel is also a button -- you can click with it just like the left or right mouse buttons. |

So what happens when you click a link with the scroll wheel? |

Tabbed browsing isn't anything new with Firefox. I like it because it's the friendly browser. And no security holes. |

I think part of the reason I've never bothered to try out Firefox is just because one of Firefox's supposed killer benefits (tabbed browsing) is something that Opera has too. |

I think IE likes ModestlyHotGirl and I. She says she doesn't get pop-ups and neither do I. But my friend has Firefox and he says it's great. |

I updated to SP2 a month ago (needed new atapi driver for 250gb hard drive grumble grumble was running the original xp for 3 years no reinstalls grumble grumble). I haven't checked out the "updated and secure" IE yet, nor do I intend on it. If I come across a site that needs IE, I find an alternative. Quite simple, really. |

That'll speed things up for me. I always use tabs, but I always just press Control + Left Click. Now I can just middle click! Also, a question related to the middle button in FireFox: Is there some plugin that lets you use the middle button for scrolling, like in Internet Explorer or Word or whatever? |

Doesn't work with my laptop's scroll wheel. That's okay. Pictures are displayed different (better) in Firefox. |

Your scroll wheel should work fine out-of-the-box in Firefox. I can't imagine why it wouldn't, unless, maybe, you had a really funky mouse with some propreitary driver or something. |

I use the middle button thing all the time with my regular old optical dell mouse, but it doesn't work at home with my Logitech MX700. It's a pain, but oh well. Also, I don't use IE much at all, but when I do, I don't get popups. I think it's because I religiously use Spybot S&D and Ad-aware, and I don't click on dumb things.

So take the dare, use IE for a day. Done and done. I had to use IE again after my comp was reformatted and we lost a lot of stuff, including the Fox. I found myself automatically middle-clicking links and then saying AAAAARRRGGGBLLBLBLBL when they didn't work. |
