You now have to activate any flash / java content on IE, so you can use that content, do you all like that too?

Firefox does not have that problem, plus: the tabbing is more efficient with superT extension. There are more extensions that make your life easier like: mouse gestures, real time weather on your status bar, webdeveloper bar (for web developers is excelent), color picker, the download I feel to be better, you can even have a session saver so you get your browser in the same state you left it when you restart your computer.

Firefox Rulz, so I'm for Firefox.

I use only Firefox. If a web site does not load properly in FF, it is because it is not adhering to HTML rules. The most usual reason for this is because some Microsoft quirk was used in generating the pages (MS have produced 101 MS-specific non-HTML bits and pieces). Some scripting may also be faulty. Web designers who are worth anything test their work in a variety of browsers. If they don't, and it does not conform to HTML/XHTML, then it's too bad for them. I go elsewhere, where the designer is more savvy.

People just don't realise how much business they may lose through sloppy programming. One notorious example is the Laiki Bank net banking. I have stopped using the bank because of it. They should realise that those with Macs and Linux machines simply cannot use IE.

Yes, firefox has some problems with handling html on certain websites..
But the beauty of Firefox is that you can add extensions to to do pretty much anything you want. Like this one, which solves the problem you mentioned, which I might add is due to sloppy coding by web designers rather than Firefox itself.
