Great for traversing blogrolls and opening lots of blogs, for example. Clicking the mousewheel on a tab closes it, too.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193273919067123296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1113438544322133822005-04-14T12:29:00.000+12:002005-04-14T12:29:00.000+12:00Many browsers identify as IE, while they might be ...Many browsers identify as IE, while they might be something else such as Opera, or a search engine indexing your site.

Have you tried some of the themes and stuff you cn get from the firefox website? There are some great ones. <BR/><BR/>Also, what you haven't mentioned here, is that (apparently) Firefox is much much much more secure than IE, and doesn't have the security loopholes that hackers are just dying to exploit. <BR/><BR/>I've kept IE but I now only ever use when I find a site that Firefox can't handle. And that is becoming rarer too. I read somewhere that the sites which won't display properly in Firefox are those in which the webdesigner has manipulated the code to get around and/or take into account all IE's little ticks and to make it display properly on IE. As a result, they bugger it up for the rest of us. Same, according to the article, applies for Opera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1113391599550582032005-04-13T23:26:00.000+12:002005-04-13T23:26:00.000+12:00I use both Firefox and Explorer.

I have found some sites that one or the other browser will not work.<BR/><BR/>In general, Firefox does not quite display some pages as well, but is more forgiving.<BR/><BR/>A few times, its been with online banking or booking a plane flight, so I've been glad of the alternate browser (and its not just ActiveX controls, scripts and pop-up Window settings)<BR/><BR/>Rather than blind devotion to the one great browser (whichever one you deem to be infinitely more beneficial) it is nice (as always)having a choice.<BR/><BR/>I am surprised at the stats you mention.
