My god, some people who are clearly not that familiar with PCs don't know how to install and operate a program that is different to what they're used to, SOMEBODY STOP THE PRESSES.

Because as we all know, firefox has an orange color, which is close to red, and everyone knows red makes things go faster!

... Really, not following your logic here, you're not going to make s*** PCs any more tolerable with firefox, trust me, I tried.

My computer is trash, and it does run faster with Firefox. But consider that I still use Windows XP, there's gonna be a larger jump from IE 8 to the latest version of Firefox.

I'm a chrome user first off - I said NOTHING about Firefox being a miracle worker lol

I don't even care much for red :P

But we all know keeping IE isn't making anything better so you might as well get something a bit more stable.

And yes, firefox IS more stable than IE.

'Course. I have a pretty fast laptop, and chrome is the best for me, honestly.

Chrome is the best. Faster, simply.

Ever since I've stopped using Firefox and switched back to Chrome, I agree with this.

My school's computers were changed a lot. I assumed that the "Internet Access" would have only Internet Explorer like it had for the last 10 years.
I smiled when I saw Chrome and Firefox.

Wow. An exploit that can be easily avoided or fixed. Microsoft fanboys sure have it tough!

Funny. First you claim to know little about Firefox but then you claim it's more stable than IE, which I doubt you have even tried since it's been updated. What an interesting post. I love it when people talk about things they know nothing about.

Firefox actually uses less memory and can be stripped to its bones after an express install to use even less.

Chrome is recorded to be leagues slower than Opera in almost every aspect including cold boot start up time.

If IE didn't pop back up every time you uninstall it, you could've had a good chance to convert 'em. D:


Explorer

Also, IE is the base standard used by the W3C when developing base standards. To receive validation in accordance with the W3C your website must first be able to be displayed without flaw on IE. Some functions on certain websites will not work properly with other browsers because of this, making IE very handy to keep around.

How do you know anything about browser stability? Do you even know what part of Firefox is considered the least stable? Do you know what part of IE is considered a memory sink hole?

Do you know the differences between HTML5 and XHTML? Are you aware of what the IEEE is or what the W3C does? Do you understand basic internet protocols or even application level/layer protocols? Does HTTP/S-HTTP or even TLS have any meaning to you? Do you know what browser emulation is or better yet; do you know anything about compiling or programming in general?
