I have started using Mozilla Firefox. I like it. Though the tabbed browsing is taking some getting used to, I can see how I will come to use it. Tabbed browsing lets me keep relevant windows together. As I am often working on several different things at once, shuffling windows and losing track of what I was doing, having each thing in its own browser window will make me feel less chaotic.

One thing is bugging me, not being able to move things around on the toolbars. They take up a huge amount of my real estate up there. I run the StumbleUpon toolbar and the Google toolbar on top of the browser standards. Things are spread out, taking up more space than they need. If I was using IExplorer I would compact them all. I can’t do that with Firefox. I even looked at the FAQ for help. It seems to be on their list of things to do. Meanwhile, it’s bugging me.

Overall I don’t see a lot of difference between IExplorer and Firefox. I’ve been a steady IExplorer user for eight years. Momentarily trying various browsers like Netscape, Opera and Mozilla but always coming back to IExplorer. So far I am satisfied with Firefox, but there is an annoying bug concerning my login for a particular site. So, though Firefox is fine, I’m not taking IExplorer off my hard drive just yet.
