What web browser do you use?

Why do you use the browser you use?

Right now, I use Firefox. But, I'm not really tied to it so much. I use it because of the crash recovery and the reopen closed tab feature.

I've been using Internet Explorer for years, but have recently tried Firefox and am really loving it. Like Patrick mentioned, I like the crash recovery, but I REALLY like the bookmark buttons you can create in the header. Makes it so easy to skip to the 8-9 websites I visit most often.

I also love the extendability of it, add-ons are so easy to find, and quick to install. And on that note, I have come to know and love the Web Developer and Firebug add-ons, they're proving so useful in finding CSS files and code I'm not sure I could live without them anymore.

Oh and one more thing, I love the Google search facility at the top right (which Internet Explorer now has I believe) but I especially love tapping the CTRL key twice and bringing up a Google search block that opens searched content in a new tab. Really appreciate that one!

Yeah! I love that about Firefox.

Also, I found this awesome video.

For some reason, I can't get cookies to work well in Firefox. Every day, I have to login to the same sites. It's frustrating. Run through the gamut, going to mess around with my firewall stuff for the fifth time when I get a chance.

I may switch back to IE when version 8 comes out. We'll see.

Thanks Kreativkid, very amusing!

Oh I hate it whn stuff like that happens Patrick, it's probably the slightest of things but they're usually the ones that take the longest to figure out!

I guess you've done all the usual stuff like disable all add-ons, clear cookies, and reinstall?

Is there such a thing as a clean-up script for Firefox, so it can be reinstalled without any problematic or broken sytem files coming back?

Thanks Matt. Yeah, I've run through all of that stuff, checked different settings multiple times... nothing.

Shame about that, hope you get it sorted.

I've also used the Windows version of Safari which I found to be well designed and robust. Am really happy with Firefox at the moment though!
