Well actually, I have one reason. My girlfriend can hardly use IE7 at all. If she does, her XP Home SP3 laptop freezes, and when she restarts the computer her JAWS 9 refuses to read things and a uninstall, including shared components, and a reinstall, is necessary to get it reading again. I don't know if any other machine does this, but hers certainly does, and I don't know how she could fix it. Does anyone know?

Even using tabbed browsing and on all web sites? I found it a little flakey using multi-tab browsing and I know there are issues with Firefox on certain websites. There's approx. 20% of surfers using Firefox with between 75% to 80% using internet explorer. Companies aren't testing their web sites with all browsers, why would you waste effort testing Safari when only 2% of surfers use it?Given that, in my experience of Firefox, it was no faster than internet explorer and it's features were virtually clones of internet explorer features, why waste time switching to it?There will be the usual rumble of "I hate Microsoft" from a few people who use the operating system, e-mail client and other apps like word and excel but for some reason feel they're making a statement by not using IE but other than that it's really difficult to justify using Firefox.Regards.
