    This must be why I'm having to check my Yahoo e-mail accounts using FireFox now....

    I get a screen full of scrambled links and text boxes with NO scrolling to type e-mail in...using Explorer.

    This snafu just started last month, after a recent update.

    On my desktop at home, I had to uninstall IE & use Firefox because I had to many implanted VIRUS' that kept the pop up adware continuing. Yes, I tried Spybot, Spyware Doctor, Norton & Macafee to no avail. Once uninstalled, the annoying pop ups ceased. I recommend Firefox which seems to be a more stable browser.

    I've been using Firefox for 5 years and will never use IE or any other browser again. Firefox does not allow active x controls under any circumstances which made it exponentially less vulnerable in and of itself. Firefox is real easy to use as well and I love the tabs.

    Just pondering here... but it seems like it'd be relatively easy for the OS company to "salt the earth" a bit for browsers that compete with their own.

    Just sayin'.

    Wait a #### minute....


    Why not post results from products that are currently in wide spread use ??

    Rather than beta testing, a beta product for flaws ??

    Could it be because the current Explorer in use...is chock FULL of holes? Like mine. And would suck ### in these test.

    Never had that many problems on Chrome, I like it better than IE and always hated Firefox, never a fan of it

    I use Firefox. The only time I use IE is if I am hitting sites that aren't built for Firefox. I tried Chrome and, while it wasn't bad, I just couldn't get into it.
