You should have downloaded Opera. Now your plagued with the infamous Mozilla Memory Leak (MML.Win.32) bug.

Firefox is great, but keep IE. Many Windows sites require you to use IE to download updates and what not for your computer.

There's an extension you can add to Firefox called 'User Agent Switcher.' It allows you to change your user agent (which is what browser a website sees you as) to Internet Explorer, or anything of your choosing. Opera and K-Meleon both have this by default.

I love Firefox too but can't use it on this site. For some reason it won't let me reply to posts correctly here. Weird. I still use IE for somd.com, obviously.

I use FireFox on my home and work PCs with no issues. FF v3 has a quirk in that it erases and redraws the display a couple of times, but only on this site. Otherwise, it works fine. A few have complained about certain things not working, but I don't think it's the browser itself, maybe another underlying program or utility.

nah. Opera isn't that great. Firefox is better. I think Chrome (by Google) is better too
