    Default Do you guys use firefox to order something online?

    TO be on the safe side I personally use internet explorer to order thing online and such.

    Firefox is well-known to be safer than IE.

    yea, you'd be more safe using FF over IE.
    I have not had to switch back to IE from FF for a site in at least a year, maybe a few months over a year.
    They should all work flawlessly with FF.

    I really don't see any difference.

    But Firefox is safer, and is my current browser..

    So yeah, Firefox FTW.

    No, firefox just slows down my computer and make things harder to do.

    You took a step in the wrong direction on that one. IE is the biggest wormhole ever.
    I swear it was written in Basic and compiled by a drunken elephant.
    It's an awful idea to use IE due to all of it's security loopholes, especially when ordering something.

    Not to mention, but Microsoft products have a bad tendancy to turn into Decepticons, lol. (I just watched Transformers and can't get over that scene)

    Firefox has a better javascript support than IE.

    If you get something like the No-Script add-on, there can be problems until you allow the site to run java, but as long as you have java enabled there will be no problems.

    Using the words "safe" and "Internet Explorer" in the same sentence is just crazy.

    thats all fine and dandy but IE still has alot of holes

    plus theres the fact ie has no protection for forced download so a virus can easily stealth download and install on your pc.

    firefox is also faster and frequently updated due to it being open source.

    ive never had a problem with firefox..i believe its superior to ie in every aspect

    and if i do want to use ie i just use the ie tabs addon for firefox

    Another "why is firefox good" thread...how about this...I just got a pop-up from IE, and I don't have it open. I'm using firefox. I KNOW the security of Mozilla is better than IE.


    O/T Great. Now I have to go through all that bullshit to rip out IE again. >_>
