Firefox doesn't have compatability issues, the problem is idiot webmasters that don't know how to code properly and to the w3c standard

I wish that I could select 2 choices, because it really depends on what I'm doint. I like FF because it's very extendable, and sooo much better than IE, not to mention, it's a whole site more secure. I also like Opera for day to day browsing, it is a smooth and comfortable feeling browser, plus it conforms to W3C standards quite nicely.

I'm a huge Mozilla Firefox fan. It's just really easy to use. I got used to tabbing so quickly. I still use IE from time to time, however. That's not so bad either.

I mostly use FF 2.0, Sea Monkey 1.0.5, and Opera 9. I only use IE7 to update my daughter's XP Pro box:-) If I had to choose one browser I guess Fire Fox 2.0 would be it.

I was a big firefox fan, but since 2.0 it has really been unstable on my machine, and have reverted back to using IE 7, so far I am really happy with the browser. The only thing I don't like about it is if you install it on a server it seems to cause issues with security acrross the network.

Internet Explorer. Always.
Even though a lot of people say its not as good, it does everything I need it to do. And because it is the most popular, the majority of web pages are designed particularly for it.
