Seriously.... why do you use IE over Firefox?

muzzy:
Well, I have firefox too, but I tend to only use it on sites which absolutely won't work without javascript. It's kind of my "plan B" browser. My IE is configured to work without activex/activescripting, so 99% of IE security holes never apply to me. The rare ones that do, I patch. IE has worked perfectly for me, and for a while I thought it was misbehaving until I started debugging it and realized the glitches I was having were because of my own browser helper objects leaking. Oops! :D

I've found that in every way that matters to me, IE has been superior for a long time. Only recently (like, late last year) the firefox has become actually usable. I'll still stick with IE, though, I see no reason to switch over. Oh, and I'd have to reimplement all my plugins for firefox, and I hear they need to be rewritten every now and then as different firefox versions have plugin compatibility issues. Yay.

I also have various versions of netscape and opera installed, back from the times I did some webdesign. I only use them for testing purposes, though.
