Which web browser do you use/like the most?

If you're forced into using one at work you don't like don't pick it, pick the one you choose to use!

firefox. It has its share of annoyances, but im very used to the UI now and the scope for customisation is so great that you can address most grievances.

firefox. sites that require IE due to dodgy activeX-ness are the pus that drips from beelzibub's crusty knob end imo.

I have a pimped version of Safari. I find it miles better than the Mac version of Firefox, which is pretty unstable.

I use Firefox and Opera. I tend to use Opera in the background for downloading etc because it can handle torrents natively and lots of other nice stuff, but because its too standards compliant you get sites that Opera simply can´t handle, so I use Firefox for general browsing. I´ve got IE7 installed just in case, but I very rarely use it.

I am using Mozilla but when I press enter to start a new paragraph ect it crashes and I have to shut it down. Anyone have any ideas why it does this mainly on FH as well.

I used to use a combination of IE and Firefox depending on the type of site I needed to visit.

Now I just use IE-Tab in Firefox so I don't have to load up IE if a site doesn't work. Easily the single most usefull add-on developed for Firefox.

I thought Mozilla and Firefox is the same thing :/

Anyway, I am using the Mozilla Firefox, didn't know which one to choose from the options so I picked Firefox.

Using firefox largely because I can make it rather minimal on me desktop with some shifting about of address bars and themes.

Firefox 99% of the time, with IE now and then to test stuff and because it sometimes askes me if I want to download certain video file, which I sometimes want to do, where Firefox will just play the files and give no obvious way of downloading them.

Opera.... Have been using it since 1999. They were a bit less in the short time they had that advertising in the program, but now that's gone, everything is nice and dandy again.

9.20 just works. I haven't really found any websites that don't work properly with this version.

I hate firefox for its inability to listen to the settings I give it. I mean, you set it to only open webpages in new tabs, and it still sprouts new windows like fuck...
It's also a tad hungry on the memory and CPU part, and doesn't feel quite as snappy as Opera does.

Won't even comment on Internet Explorer.... Unsave piece of crud :/

By Mozilla I meant the Mozilla suite, aka. Seamonkey.

Isnt Mozilla the engine behind firefox?

I'm sure it was developed by Netscape or used by them if not...

Aah Netscape..... *nostalgia*

Mozilla is a company, they make the Mozilla Suite aka Seamonkey (think firefox and thunderbird in one) as well as Thunderbird and Firefox etc.

Gecko is the name of the rendering engine, it is used in almost everything they do including firefox, seamonkey, thunderbird, etc.
