Eleanor, I guess it's down to personal choice. I have been using firefox exclusively now since November 2006 from version 1 and never use internet explorer unless absolutely necessary. Firefox is open source and therefore indepentent of Microsoft. I guess I am one of the few people on this list that use Firefox exclusively. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 10:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] Firefox rather than IE 8 Can someone tell me the advantages of firefox instead of Internet Explorer. I have been looking at the Firefox Web Browser and I choose to look something up in both, I seem to just get the same results.
