Interesting when I look up web stats there are more people using IE that Firefox.

Not surprising really. The bulk of users are plug and play. Those not involved in technical work are not motivated to learn, seek and download something better. Same as most people are not interested in lifting the bonnet on their car.

It's now "normal" because of the browser wars to have some web sites work with some browsers and not others. I have faced up to using three Internet Explorer, Firefox (main) and Google Chjrome (like reading foriegn news and it auto translates, probably the most buggy though)

Liberal Labor are like the Roman Republic where rich politicians try and induce votes by bribing plebians with elaborate promises and colloseum games.

Extremely rare for it not to work, I doubt I have had this problem in the last year or so. On the other hand, it depends on what sort of sites you visit, and everyone is different.

I can't recall seeing a site that 'required' IE for a very, very long time (years).

I can't run it, and would never want to anyway.

Opera has a user-agent spoofing tool built-in, and I believe there's an add-on for Firefox.

Exactly.

Except it's not a 'bug' in Firefox if the page is badly coded (usually occurs when it's been authored with something awful like 'Frontpage' incidentally.)

Good grief - Are you actually suggesting that regular bug-fixes are a

*bad* thing?

I've never had a problem with FF not opening any links. I have heard that the only sites that have issues are those relating to some of the more extreme fetish sites.

Konqueror does this also, for quite a wide variety of browsers. Runs on Windows too.

I still use Firefox on Windows XP, Windows 7, OSX, and Solaris 10, in spite of its minor bugs. It is a little annoying being forced to us IE when Firefox can't handle a link though.

Been known for ages that IE9 isnt for XP. They would rather you buy new than they support old. XP is just old.

very reliable, stable and well documented though will take some time for 7 to reach that stage.
