Hi all,
So, I've been an IE explorer since I started using the 'internets', in the 20th century. Pretty much the only other browser I've used is Netscape, way back in the day. I've used Firefox briefly on other computers and I simply can't see what the fuss is all about.
Every once in a while, people glance over my laptop and tell me I'm crazy for still using IE and that I should switch to Firefox and more recently, Chrome (But I'd really like to leave Chrome out of this discussion).
So, GTP members I ask thee: Why is Firefox so widely perceived as being superior to IE? The main reason I ask is because I recently downloaded IE9 and all I have to say is... They've butchered IE enough. I also figure, well, if so many people think it's that great, there must be a reason, right?
Also one side-question. I hate tabbed browsing, is there a way to turn it off in Firefox?
I found other topics, but I really didn't want to include this discussion on those topics, as they seemed more like a general discussion on the browsers available. I think a discussion regarding just IE and FF is adequate considering the inquiry.
