But, deciding whether of not to install firefox is a much too important question to be left to the pirate-level advice of the vorb community. I strongly advise you to get a second opinion from the Trademe boards.

Firefox is a proper browser that loads websites according to how they have been written by their creator.... whereas internet explorer loads websites according to how microsoft wants to display it. Which is usually wrong. However, IE7 is a LOT better than IE6 thank christ.

But hey don't take my word for it - Let them duke it out for themselves Big Grin

Lol of course I couldn't care less what browser people choose to use, I just recommend people try firefox because I've found it excellent to use, and most people have tended to agree once they've tried it for a while.

It is just like internet explorer, but because it is not a Microsoft product it works better.

Just try it and see. Some people don't notice any difference, some do. But coming from from a dude who has a pretty ruling website must mean something.
