In your opinion which do you think is better? I use Internet explorer and i am not happy with it. I'm considering switching to Firefox, but i want to see how people feel about it first. Try to give a reason why you like one over the other. Thanks!
Internet Explorer 7 for general browsing because I can get about faster in it and I like the way the tabs are set out better. I also use FireFox but only for downloading big files as I like the Download manager.
firefox is safer, but the only reason i dont use is cause i dotn know how to copy and paste. u gotta insert the link rather then just to right click and paste. but i hear their's a plugin for that but i dunno what it is. but firefox is really good, it also uses more memory. that is what Cnet.com says
I find IE7 to be better for general workhorse browsing, it's usually faster and mroe stable for me, but Firefox has more features that make it ideal if browsing the web is something you do often. I find Opera to be better than them both, for me it's the fastest and it has the widest range of features in the three (it's not bloated, though, surprisingly the download has the smallest file size of the three)

i have always like Firefox but i use IE 7, cause what u said ctrl+V to paste dont paste. it says firefox cannot do this or something and gives me a dumb link to read "why" it cant.

CTRL+C=Copy CTRL+V=paste
your welcome mate.
There's some sort of option or thing that you have to do first before Firefox will allow you to use those commands.Â

The best would be a mix of the two! There are some thins in iE that are just fine (even great) which are not in Ff... and visa versa.I also have issues with both. So I wish for the best of both worlds while being caught between a rock and a hard place... can we ever be totaly happy with tech these days?Â
i use firefox 1.5, i like it but i do admit the stupid thing got some problems. sometimes the program don't terminate correctly and i have to manually terminate it from ther task manager.
Can someone explain to me what people are having problems with when it comes to Copy/Cut and Paste in Firefox? I've used Firefox on 4 different computers, and I've always been able to use those functions both through right-clicking and using keyboard shortcuts. I relaly don't understand where that problem is comming from.

That was on the older version, the 2.0.0.3 version doesn't need that anymore. There was also a quick fix you could find by using google and a plug-in for it.
 The only bug I can see in the 2.0.0.3 version is that damn image resizing icon that wont go away, although you can still disable automatic resizing.

I use both Firefox and Opera, IE6 when a site looks weird or isn't compatible with Firefox or Opera.Â
I've only ever used IE6.0 and Firefox, so I dunno how IE7 handles tabs and all and when I switched to Firefox, I never looked back.
As far as the cut-and-paste goes, I presume we're talking about links we see on web pages? If you right-click on the Menu area in Firefox and choose "Customize.." there are a bunch of icons, one of them is the "New Tab" icon, just drag that right next to the "URL Bar", now you can select any text(link) with your mouse and drag-and-drop onto this Icon to open that link in a new tab. Very convenient..
Inno about you but I diasagree that IE is faster than FF.
Me also.
FF faster than IEÂ
I've found that browser speed usually depends on things on the user's end. For example, on a cluttered PC I used, Firefox was slow in comparison to IE, but on a clean install I found them to be roughly the same (there were no significant differences between the specs of both PCs).
There's an add-on for IE called IE7Pro that offers an ad-blocking feature among other things. I've never used ad-block, so I can't say how good IE7Pro is compared to it.
