yeh, after using firefox i hate using ie. here is something i found that i think is not that useful but makes it look nicer. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1368/ and i didnt know until a while ago that u can change the themes and i love that u can personalize it: in firefox, go to tools, add-ons, click on "themes", then click on "get themes"
Firefox is a good browser but in release 2.0 really mess it up big time. I think featurewise, IE7 has caught up with Firefox but the UI is probably a little need getting use to. Opera is probably still one of the best browser around (IMHO) but it is a shareware.
I hate it when firefox can't load up pictures. especially on this one site, NO PICS AT ALL! it doesn't even give me the no ic icon, it just down't show up. I tried uninstalling and installing again, but it didn't work, so i use Netscape to load up that website, cuz i dislike IE that much.
ie takes a lotta resources... iunno tho, i've been an ie user all my life, but now i'm starting to use firefox a lot more.
I agreed that IE especially IE7 in fact eat up a lot of resource. I myself recently shift to using firefox after frequent lagging and sometime freeze up my lappy.
