/\ agreed.
Internet Explorer is the simplest and most user friendly browser there is. And you can't say its not safe; Ive had my computer for 5 years, I've been using Internet Eplorer the whole time, and havn't gotten one virus, or a piece of spyware or even adware on my computer since I bought it.

It's what they call backups 
.. I make one now and then, FF can make a .html file out of your bookmarks. IIRC FF makes them automatically as well (every certain amount of time). Have you searched all folders if there aren't any backups around?

Only serious virus I've ever had was a direct result of my father using IE...
And Opera is far more user friendly, you just have to get a bit more used to it. Its also faster than either IE or FF.
IE also doesn't load pages correctly, plainly and simply it just isn't compliant with any but microsofts own webcoding formats, and as not every site is made by microsoft, I, as a non-microsoft employee, find that to be a bit daft. Also it doesn't have tabs, but if you can live without, and like slow load times, no webistes or images, and spyware and viral infestation, go for it.

Firefox: Tabs
Intenet Explorer, Ctrl-N
Firefox: Built in virus and pop-up blocker
Internet Explorer: Built in pop-up blocker. Are you really going to rely on Firefox alone to stop viri?* Use Norman or something. By the way, how do you prove something is more seucre than something else without knowing exactly how all the viri in the world work.
*Plural form of virus.

Firefox is easier to use, it looks cool, the icon is awsome and it can actually load pages without 'needing to close', plain and simple.

Opera FTW. You can only be enraged that whatever browser you're using is worse.What don't people get about this fact: Opera sucks.

ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Firefox is open source. Reason enough for me. Plus it's better.

My only comment on this topic; I don't give a shit what you use, if you like it use it. I'll stick with my browser of choice you stick with yours.
Nice logic?And Opera is far more user friendly, you just have to get a bit more used to it.
Love Me.
